Segmented Circle back to one continuous closed Polyline?

Grasshopper

It it possible to convert the Attached Circle to one continuous closed Polyline? IF so is it A Rhino Command or does it need to be done in Grasshopper?Circle.3dm (43.7 KB)

Either way. The _Convert command with the Lines option will convert the circle (any curve actually) into a polyline. You have a number of options on the command line to determine how fine the segments are, but they are not guaranteed to be 100% equal. The best way is to set the max angle setting to some known even number of segments like 24, and all other settings to 0.

It can also be done with Divide>Number, and then Polyline>Through points on the result. That should give exactly equal segments.

Of course it can also be done with Grasshopper.

Hi Jeff -

The file you posted doesn’t contain a circle. It contains a single continuous closed polyline consisting of 500 segments.

If you want to reduce the amount of segments, you can use the Rebuild command:

Ah, I thought they wanted to convert a real circle… :grimacing:

In this case, you could also use SimplifyCrv to convert the 500 segment polyline back to a real circle, and then one of the methods I outlined above to segment it again.

And with Grasshopper…
