CurveLoop.CreateViaThicken

Description:
Creates a new closed curve loop by thickening the input curve with respect to a given plane.

Remarks:
The new loop will be created via offsets of the input curve (in the plane of the normal vector) with the endpoints connected with lines.The original curve will be at the center of the new loop.

Note that for input elliptical fragments and NurbSpline curves, any offsets will be created as HermiteSplines.

Curve

pCurve

The input curve.
Double

thickness

The distance between the offset curves created on either side of the input curve.
XYZ

normal

The normal vector to the plane used for thickening.

Return Value CurveLoop The new curve loop.

ArgumentException

The input thickness is too short for a curve. -or- The input pCurve points to a helical curve and is not supported for this operation.
ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException

Throws if the input curve could not be thickened.
