Rectify Circles and Arcs?
-
SU Follow-ME and many of the scripts that have been written can create some very awesome geometry.
However, the properties of native circles and arcs are lost as they are kloned, moved, rescaled, and/or rotated; ie., when a circle is Follow-Me'd along a curve.
The conveniece of using the Entity Info properties (for example the Radius property) is no longer available for the derived geometry, which can make subsequent modications to geometry more difficult.
Couldn't a script be developed that could analyse a model or a selection (and all its nested entities) of all Non-Circle and Non-Arc geometry which are comprised of coplaner segments which are equal in length with equal angles at their vertices and then "redraw" them as Circles and Arcs?

that would be extremey useful, many a time have i found myself cursing as i tried to redraw a curve in some very awkward place, followed by having to delete all the lines that formed the previous arc.

A little doctoring of the "weld.rb" might do it. Rick?
