curve function with length as an input

[sara]

Hello! and happy Christmas!

I was wondering is there any curve function which has ‘length’ as the input parameter and customize the radius of the curve base on it?

to clarify, in the picture the positions of the pins are known and fix. I want to draw a curve between them and I want to enter the length of curve as the parameter and expect the function to calculate the required radius?

Hi Sara,

The layout would like to variate curvature linearly respect to length, right?

If so, might require to cascade sections of bend to achieve the whole bend.

Just my previous experience,

Dear Sara,

In your example you could connect pin1 and pin2 with a bend() of which you know the length. You can then insert straight sections to achieve the length variation (as a trombone…).
