Added an angle rotate parameter and slider to the Bean3ptArc script. (Bean3ptArcR)
Description of scroll spiral template
The scroll TEMPLATE has a red spiral, which has been cut into segments with eraser script. These gaps represent support TABS for the template. (The red curved segments are not quite arcs, but close.) The six blue regions approximate cutouts which enable pencil tracing of the scroll template, onto a block of wood. The desire is to replace the six blue cutouts with more precise curves. On the top right is a Bean arc curve, rotated and sized, into position. (An angle rotate slider was added to the BeanArc script.)
( Script Sliders do not do a smooth or good enough placement. A bit crude. ) On the top left is the remains of a bean curve, cut out by the cyan circle. It matches a portion of the blue curve fairly well. The black piece of bean curve is a much better match than an offset of the red curve. The two green line segments are perpendicular to the scroll spiral segment, and are Blended with the black bean segment, forming the orange curves. The orange/green corner could be filleted a little. A join of the red, orange, black, and orange segments, is one of the desired cutouts.
