:class:`DesignCurve`
====================


.. py:class:: ansys.geometry.core.designer.designcurve.DesignCurve(id: str, name: str, length: ansys.geometry.core.misc.measurements.Distance, start: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D, end: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D, grpc_client: ansys.geometry.core.connection.client.GrpcClient, parent_component: ansys.geometry.core.designer.component.Component)

   
   Represents a standalone curve within the design assembly.

   Unlike edges, which are always attached to a body, a ``DesignCurve`` is a free-standing
   curve object that lives directly under the root design object or a component in the design tree.
   These are typically created by operations such as revolving design points.

   :Parameters:

       **id** : :class:`python:str`
           Server-defined ID for the curve.

       **name** : :class:`python:str`
           User-defined label for the curve.

       **length** : :obj:`Distance`
           Length of the curve.

       **start** : :obj:`Point3D`
           Start point of the curve.

       **end** : :obj:`Point3D`
           End point of the curve.

       **grpc_client** : :obj:`GrpcClient`
           gRPC client for communicating with the server.

       **parent_component** : :obj:`Component`
           Parent component that the curve belongs to in the design assembly.
