The From point on the element is located at the 0-degree point of the bend
If the total length of the element as specified in the DX, DY, and DZ fields is equal to: R tan ( / 2)

6.4 Mitered Bends

1. Closely spaced 2. Widely spaced * Number of Cuts (N) * Equivalent radius (Req) or miter spacing (S)

Req = S / [ 2 tan( ) ]

=/2N

Length of miter segment at crotch B = S [ 1 - ro / Req ]
