createMiteredPipeSections MethodStatic

Create section arcs for mitered pipe.

• At the end of each pipe segment, the pipe is mitered by the plane that bisects the angle between successive centerline segments.
• The section arcs are constructed so that lines between corresponding fractional positions on the arcs are axial lines on the pipes.
• This means that the initial arc's vector0 and vector90 lengths and angular separation are not preserved in the section arcs.
• Circular or elliptical pipe cross sections can be specified by supplying either a radius, a pair of semi-axis lengths, or an Arc3d:
  • For semi-axis length input, x and y correspond to ellipse local axes perpendicular to each other and to the start tangent.
  • For Arc3d input, the center is translated to the centerline start point. For best results, ensure this arc is perpendicular to the centerline start tangent.
• This function internally calls createMiteredSweepSections with default options.
