Controls

Control	Description
Name	Type a name for the line or polygon, or click to increment to the next available name.
Start	Input the start vertex of the circular arc.
Centre	Input the centre vertex of the circular arc.
End	Input the end vertex of the circular arc.
Segments	Type the number of segments required.
3D circular arc	Select the checkbox to compute the circular arc segments in 3 dimensions. Clear the checkbox to compute the circular arc segments in 2 dimensions.
Clockwise	Specify the direction of the arc: Select the checkbox to draw the arc in a clockwise direction. Clear the checkbox to draw the arc in an anticlockwise direction. Note: Toggle the checkbox to view a preview of the arc in the opposite direction.

Notes

Click OK to create the line or polygon segments. Type a value in the Segments control prior to picking the vertices to create the object automatically when the final vertex is input.
The heights of the created vertices will be interpolated based on the position along the linear object.
All segments or distances are of equal 3 dimensional length unless the 3D circular arc checkbox is cleared in which case the segments are of equal 2 dimensional length.
