Parametric lampshade: how to generate arches from a polygon?

Hello internet, I am currently working on a program for variating and generating a design for a hanging lamp shade. This lampshade will be made up out of many smaller arcs, which are layered and then 3D-printed in transparant filament. I have added pictures of my current design for reference. I am able to make a program for lofting the shape through sections, but making a program for the cross-section geometry is tickling my brain a bit. I need to divide a polygon into the different smaller ar…

and I make tools in Nautilus plugin

Nautilus plugin

Nautilus is back! I added some components. Component to outputs fonts and text as curve, surface or brep [image] One component to cut a mesh/brep rotate the part and link the 2 parts. [image] A tool to calculate the radius of branches of tree [image] A tool to envelop a network of lines (that lies on a surface or a mesh) [image] A tool to carve a mesh with deformed ellipses [mesh carving3] A tool to add arc on a polycurve [image] Spiral on a sphere at constant distance. …
