tangentialArc Draw a curved line segment along part of an imaginary circle. manual

Draw a curved line segment along part of an imaginary circle.

The arc is constructed such that the last line segment is placed tangent to the imaginary circle of the specified radius. The resulting arc is the segment of the imaginary circle from that tangent point for 'offset' degrees along the imaginary circle.

tangentialArc(
  data: TangentialArcData,
  sketch: Sketch,
  tag?: TagDeclarator,
): Sketch

Arguments

Name Type Description Required
data TangentialArcData Data to draw a tangential arc. Yes
sketch Sketch Yes
tag TagDeclarator No

Returns

Sketch

Examples

exampleSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> angledLine({ angle = 60, length = 10 }, %)
  |> tangentialArc({ radius = 10, offset = -120 }, %)
  |> angledLine({ angle = -60, length = 10 }, %)
  |> close()

example = extrude(exampleSketch, length = 10)
