tangentialArc

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

NameTypeDescriptionRequired
dataTangentialArcDataData to draw a tangential arc.Yes
sketchSketchA sketch is a collection of paths.Yes
tagTagDeclaratorNo

Returns

Sketch - A sketch is a collection of paths.

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(10, exampleSketch)
