Circle

Creates a circle.

Inputs

• type

  • Sets the type of circle to output. These are NURBS curve, polyline, and mesh.

• center

  • The vector value that defines the center of the output circle.

• orientation

  • Sets the plane in which the output circle is orientated. These are XZ, YZ, and XY.

• radius

  • The value that defines the radius of the output circle.

• segments

  • The value that defines how many segments the output circle has.

• start angle

  • The value that defines the starting angle of the output circle.

• end angle

  • The value that defines the ending angle of the output circle.

Outputs

• geometry

  • Output circle primitives.

• points

  • The list of points of the output primitives.

• points.x

  • The list of x values of the points of the output primitives.

• points.y

  • The list of y values of the points of the output primitives.

• points.z

  • The list of z values of the points of the output primitives.

Note(s)

• Only the polyline and mesh settings on the type input have the segments, start angle, and end angle inputs.

  • Adjusting the start angle and end angle inputs will create an arc/semicircle.

• A mesh circle is unwelded by default (between start angle and end angle.).

• The segments input can be used to make any regular polygon (triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, etc.).

• Other names for this node include: CircleV2 and Arc.
