Hello,
I approximated a TopoDS_Edge successfully with the following code example.
BRepAdaptor_Curve edgeAdaptor(edge);
Handle(BRepAdaptor_HCurve) crv = new BRepAdaptor_HCurve(edgeAdaptor);
Approx_Curve3d approx(crv, tolerance, GeomAbs_C2, 1000, 3);
But is there any possibility to force the resulting curve to be nonrational, all weights to be 1.0?
Regards,

Hello Gernot,
If the curve is an ellipse or a cricle then there will be a rational BSpline, because this is an exact representation of the ellipse rsp. cricle.
I made the experience that "ShapeConstruct::ConvertCurveToBSpline" converts ellipses and cricles to nonrational BSplines (with many poles). I would prefere rational BSplines from circles, because they are exact (not approximated), but in your case this is maybe what you want.
best regards
Gerhard
