### f57 Create 3D circular arc with two positions

Description
Creates a circular arc specified by pos1, pos2 and radius. A positive value for radius gives the shorter of the two possible arcs and a negative value for radius gives the longer arc. In any case the arc turns in counter clockwise direction from pos1 to pos2 with a parametrisation of t=0 in pos1 and t=1 in pos2.
The resulting 3D arc is always placed in the XY-plane of the active coordinate system. If pos1 and/or pos2 are not in this plane (pos1.z <> 0 and/or pos2.z <>0) they will automatically be projected to Z=0 before the arc is created.
Available in
3D.

Comments
If the distance between pos1 and pos2 is more than 2 times the radius a circle can not be defined.
