curve enveloping circles

by Sam Florance

May 1, 2014

Hi all,

I am trying to generate a curve that will envelope a group of circles like shrink wrap.  I have tried dividing the circles into points and making a delaunay mesh from those points but the effect is not what I am looking for.  Can anyone advise me on how to achieve the desired effect?

    How do you want the wrapping curve to behave in between circles?

      I imagine Tangent Arcs would be a useful first step. ("Curve->Primitive" panel.)

        Maybe this will help you, but is inelegant.
