Solids Builder - Circle

Circle - creates a circle with center, normal vector and radius given:

The Circle activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - name of the activity
    The circle name must follow the naming rules
  • Center - name of the point where the center of the circle is
  • Vector - name of the vector normal to the plane of the circle
  • Radius - a VB expression to evaluate the radius value
  • Object Visible - indicates whether or not the point should be drawn in the preview
    
    
• radius Dimension
  • Dimension Angle - angle relative to the X axis at which the radius dimension is drawn
  • Dimension Radius - indicates whether to draw a dimension on the radius of the circle
  • Radius Template - a text template that provides the dimension
    Use <> for the dimension (Example: Radius = <>)

If the text gets too big/small, or the sphere that represents the point gets too big or small, use the buttons ( A, a, , ) at the top of the screen to change the preview

Properties (for use in VB expressions)

Implements the properties of curves plus:

• Area - area of the circle (real number)
• Radius - radius of the circle (real number)
• Vector - normal circle vector ( vector)
• Center - center of the circle ( point)

Methods (for use in VB expressions)

implements the methods of the curves
