Is there a tool in Rhino that indicates points along a curve where the curvature is at its minimum and maximum bends? The CurvatureGraph function is helpful in visualizing this but using ExtractCurvatureGraph only generates a set of 1 degree curves and no easy way to correlate this back to points on the original curve.
Similarly, is there a tool that extracts isocurves at minimum/maximum curvatures from a surface as visually indicated by the CurvatureAnalysis function?
Mostly never mind but I would still like to know if it’s possible to extract points/curves from the CurvatureAnalysis function based on min/max values. Also doesn’t seem like Curvature marks maximum curvature points, just minimum.
The white points mark the maximum curvature points in a portion on the curve where the curvature starts to decrease in both directions from the points.

Hi Jack - does it work if you type the whole thing?
In V7, testExtractMinMaxCurvaturePoints
It seems not to be a test command in V8 but also not properly documented.
Sorry, it is ExtractMinMaxRadiusPoints - still not documneted as far as I can see- and testExtractCurvaturePoints and testExtractInflectionPoints are the test commands.
ok i am not going to ask indiscreet questions but it almost sounds like you are on a rocket around the moon… well good luck for your landing in that case
now its getting really peculiar, in my v8 for mac it is called ExtractMinMaxRadiusPoints.
