What v7 command to place ellipse as best fit to 5 points or more?

Hi Steve -

That might/will probably work on Rhino 7.

Here’s a Grasshopper solution as an alternative:

Only 2 components, it doesn’t get simpler than that:

You select your points in a Rhino viewport, right-click on the Pt component and pick “Set Multiple Points”:

Grasshopper then shows the solution in the Rhino viewport.

Select the C# component:

… and hit the Insert key on your keyboard.
That will add the ellipse to your Rhino document.
