Anyone know how to find out the tangent between two cicles in 3D space?

(...) Wouldn't they have to be on the same plane in order to find the tangency? Or did you mean the tangency of two spheres? Steven (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) What have you tried so far? And which tangent? Think about it, there's an infinite number of solutions. Even on a plane there are multiple solutions. Recommendation: start with the book _Computational Geometry in C_ by Joseph O'Rourke. -Erik (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
