So I’m very new to Rhino/Grasshopper and working on my first project after switching from Fusion 360, where I’m used to using sketches to define geometry.
I’m trying to make this tab composed of arcs and figured there has to be a simpler way to do it than what I did. I’m making a case for something so the points need to be precise, both for this and other parts.
Am I just thinking too much in a sketch frame of mind?
Thanks for any help!
3. Attach minimal versions of all the relevant files
Don’t use hidden wires!
Sorry, didn’t know about the file requirements. You’ll find it attached.
Any reason not to use hidden wires? It was becoming spaghetti otherwise.

That makes sense within individual steps, sure.
Any advice on the precision point generation?
this looks pretty clean to me…
What do you mean by simpler? Fewer components?
If these tabs are placed elsewhere on the piece, the orient component will help transform the finished tab
Yea, I would like there to be fewer components. Seems like a lot just to create 5 reference points.
I think that shape is called a Pillow Block, so here’s a method that uses only arcs and points:
