Hi,
V5
might sound odd, why not draw an elipse then trim it.
However I need a tool that given three points can use one as centre and place a quarter elipse between the other two.
It would make coding a task posted at:-
see post with .3dm file and multicoloured elipse images made of 4 quarter elipses.
such a tool would save coding that trims each elipse !.
easier, far easier !

Why not use InterpCrv to draw a line directly through your NESW points instead?
Looks more like four ellipse segments than four segments look like a tree.

As per the original post, they are not quarter ellipses, in the DWG/Excel file you posted in that thread, they are partial circular ARCS that are joined together to make a pseudo-ellipse. While this is probably scriptable with some difficulty, I think the idea above of just running a free-form curve through the 4 points is also a good approximation. These things are not perfectly round in any case, the indications are pretty approximate.
Hi Jeremy and Helvetosaur

Fantastic, that will do. Far easier to code I hope.
I now need to find some very kind soul to code InterpCrv to do that on each CSV row.
Back to the other post (above) and again thats really good news (if a code can be written to draw a closed InterpCrv through points created from data in H I J K cells. Do points need creating or is the cell data enough to draw the curve ?
Excited and hopeful.
Steve
