a nurbs circle
->
When i import 3d file created by catia to rhino, I find:
A degree 5 circle (you can know how to create this circle by the picture below), It’s funy though less use in actual application.

A rhino nurbs circle are degree 2:
A: a quarter circle weight=sin(90/2)°
you can take 4 quarter circular arcs and piece them together to make a full circle as shown below.
B: 1/3 of a circle weight=sin(60/2)°
C: weight=sin(*) You can define a circular arc using a regular polygon of n sides.
update:
Leonardo: Is there a way to “join” the circular arcs to obtain a valid circle? I’ve tried with join command but I have a generic Nurbs curve.





Hi,
this is very interesting. Is there a way to “join” the circular arcs to obtain a valid circle? I’ve tried with join command but I have a generic Nurbs curve.
Thanks
