Apple Corner 3. Clothoidal Pill/Lozenge Transition

Nice Andrew! One thing, is the apple watch button planar? If not, the side view projection could be distorted? Meaning if the button surface is nonplanar (cylindrical surface for example), then there is a chance that the sketch used to cut the shape maybe projected along Normals of the surface if that makes sense. Like it was being UV mapped.

Hi Tony, I had thought the same thing but didn’t mention it!

[@tonsab.assist.master]

In any case I think does not matter much! One thing I note optically is that compared to the 90 degrees round, the 180 might need shorter clothoid segments and more arc length. Then again it is very subjective.

Hi Andrew, I'm curious about the ratio from Rhino. Does the setback ratio change or apply for connections other than arc to straight, thinking arc-to-arc or arc-to-spline/bezier?

Also, I really enjoy your videos and have applied some strategies to my own work. The over built 4-sided surface and trim method from you bicycle frame head tube blend video has been most helpful. Thanks!

Hi Nick. I'd say it would change, however I cannot test that out with the clothoid Grasshopper definition, as the code in there is over my head! It is set up to make a clothoid transition between a line and arc.
