Description
A circular arc is defined by the center point, the radius, the start angle and the end angle.
An arc is always drawn anti-clockwise from the StartAngle to the EndAngle. The StartPoint and EndPoint properties of an arc are calculated through the StartAngle, EndAngle and Radius properties. The ExtrusionVector is always vertical to the arc. Arc is drawn in the plane that is defined by CenterPoint and ExtrusionVector
Remarks
Ways to design an arc:
Center Point,Radius,Start Angle,End Angle With this method user has to set Center Point,Radius,Start angle and End angle of the arc
With this method user has to set 3 points of the arc
