FWIW,

I experimented with ChatGPT to see if it could return a Delphi routine for a Torus Knot. Here's my question and response. I've knot tested it yet but the potential is mind blowing.

Thanks Mark,
I'm getting more interesting results now. My test produces 3d lines so I tried running my Extrude macro over one of the results. I was aware that the macro does not connect chains of 3d lines (simply extrudes each individual line with square ends as illustrated below) and it has always been my intention to add true 3D chaining at some stage ... maybe this will inspire me to get that bit of work done.

Hi David,

That would be great. Here's a knot using a cyclic contour. I can sweep it, but I'm limited to 36 nodes.
