You show us what you can do with the line and a rectangle.

A picture is worth a whole lot of words, right?

This first pass at illustrating the issue goes so far as to accept the semi-circular section's tailing plan (tadpole shaped).
If I were to draw up a more commonly encountered rectangular plan with a wheel at each corner, then a new slew of questions gets raised even higher.
For now imagine these plan conditions would be addressed similar to Rednecks cantilever on his Geo Metro to simplify the matter.
The template line and arc only go with the plan and sectional shape it has been tested on - in my opinion. All other attempts at application to other cross sectional shapes and plans is a nice try, but no cigar.
Template use in this forum is overreach with good intentions but providing unknown and unverifiable results.
