Todays idea is to perform a sphere sweep on a curve, using Flow.

Unwrap the curve.
Sphere radii vary along the arc length.
The envelope, for the unwrapped curve (straight line), is a surface of revolution.
The rate of change of the radii equation with arclength to be limited by ?
To get the planar curve to revolve... ???
