Have you looked at this?

> Is there any way Rhino6 can automatically detect the minimum radius for a curve and correct it to fit a tolerance? See illustration below. This would be a huge time saver for drawing things that have to be machined with a cutter that has a limited minimum diameter. I can compensate for this when I generate a toolpath in CAM but I am looking for a way to do this to the drawing.
