To create an Arc in the Main Menu select New Entity - > Basic - > Arc
There are 2 algorithms to create an Arc in the 3D space.
The Result of each operation will be a GEOM_Object (edge).
Firstly, you can define an Arc by three Points that lie on it, where Point1 is the starting point, Point2 is a middle point of the arc and Point3 is the ending point of the arc.
TUI Command: geompy.MakeArc(Point1, Point2, Point3)
Arguments: Name + 3 vertices.
Secondly, you can define an Arc by Center, Start and End points. The arc is built from the Start point to the End point. The radius of the arc is defined by the distance between the Center point and the Start point. The End point defines the angle of the arc. If the distance between the Center point and the End point is not equal to the radius, the arc will be built anyway.
Reverse radio button allows to change the direction of the arc.
TUI Command: geompy.MakeArcCenter(Center Point, Start Point, End Point, boolean Sense)
Arguments: Name + 3 vertices + Boolean.
Finally, it is possible to create an Arc of Ellipse, which is also done by three points: the Arguments Point 1, Point 2 and the Center Point. The arc is built on the Ellipse that lies in the plane defined by the three points, with the center in the Center point. The major radius of the Ellipse is defined by the distance between the Center Point and the most remote Argument point. The minor radius is defined by the shortest distance between the other Argument point and the major radius.
TUI Command: geompy.MakeArcOfEllipse(Center Point, First Point, Second Point)
Arguments: Name + 3 vertices.

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of creation of Basic Geometric Objects.
