@zhangty019 could you please help on this ? thanks

zhangty019 commented 1 year ago

Hi, it is for 3D printing, and it is only a simple spiral curve. Please check the picture below spiral_curve

yvanblanchard commented 1 year ago

Ok thank you for your reply. But does it work with any boundary shape , or only circle ? And does it work with 3d surface or planar only ?

zhangty019 commented 1 year ago

It can be used to calculate spiral paths for curved surfaces near round, planar mesh is also fine.
