Rhino.Geometry.Ellipse curve = new Rhino.Geometry.Ellipse(plane, double, double);

Brep[] surfs = Brep.CreatePlanarBreps(curve);

A = surfs;

hope this is what ur searching.

Cheers FF

I get an error that reads: Runtime error ( Argument TypeException): expected CurveList, Got Ellipse

I am using python but I assume the script should work the same way.

Thanks!

oh sorry...you're right there is something wrong. it should be:

Brep[] surfs = Brep.CreatePlanarBreps(curve.ToNurbsCurve());

This worked great! Thank you. I ended up using the following in rhinopython for grasshopper to  output just the 1 brep rather than the array:

brepsrf = Rhino.Geometry.Brep.CreatePlanarBreps(heads[-1].ToNurbsCurve())[0]
