Hi there,

when investigating if I could automate revisionclouds I did not find anything in the documentation.  
Then I start converting/dividing a polyline/polycurve into segments and try to make the “cloudy” arcs out of the segments based on their orientation to the center of the curve.

I just wonder: Is there some easier way to do this, e.g. an existing method?  
Of course I could do this via a commandline script as well, by selecting the curves and running the \_RevCloud command then.

Thanks,  
T.

Hi @tobias.stoltmann,

There isn’t a method, in RhinoCommon, for creating a revision cloud from a closed planar curve. I’ve added this to the heap.
