I have a series of NurbsCurves and want to make floor slabs out of them. They are closed curves, and they are planar. But when I try to use the Floor.ByTypeOutlineAndLevel, I get a warning message stating “operation failed. External component has thrown an exception”
I’ve tried extracting the control points of the nurbs curve and generating a polygon but that doesn’t yield the same geometric profile desired.
When I use a polygon, polycurve or a curve, the component generates a proper floor slab. Is there a way to type cast a nurbs curve into a curve, polygon, or polycurve in a code block?
I’ve tested in visual studio casting a nurbs curve to a curve and it worked. But I don’t want to have to create a custom component for this.
Thanks,
I’d try Vikram’s suggestion first. Most likely it’s a problem with the geometry of the NURBS (like number of knots).
Tho if you do want to cast a NURBS curve to a curve class, all you need to do is run it through a curve action node. That;s because the NC is a subclass of the Curve class and all of the curve methods reside inside it. For example:

Vikram’s solution seems to be working well. Since the curves are closed curves, extending the start or end doesn’t work for this instance.
Thanks!

Sorry for digging up an old post, but this was really helpful!
I was unable to generate area boundary lines from certain curves and was getting errors about the number of interior knots. Curve.ApproximateWithArcAndLineSegments worked for me. Thanks Vikram!
