Radius

Pro Feature

Pro features are only available with a Professional licence. To upgrade, visit cavalry.scenegroup.co.

Intro​

Generate the radius for a circle which encompasses several Shapes.

info

Note that the Radius Utility outputs values and does not generate a Shape. Connect the outputs to a Shape (e.g. an Ellipse) to see the results in the Viewport.

UI​

Input Shapes - Connect a Shape or Shapes to generate a radius around.

Centre Mode - Determine where the centre of the radius is calculated from:

  • Custom Centre - Manually set a position for the radius' centre.
  • Shapes' Centre - The radius' centre is positioned at the centre of the Input Shapes.
  • Smallest Circle - The radius' centre is positioned by calculating the smallest circle that can encompass the Input Shapes.

Centre - Set a position for the radius' centre when the Centre Mode is set to Custom Centre.

Expand - Add an offset to the Radius and Inner Radius. A positive value will increase the Radius and decrease the Inner Radius.

Centre Position - An output for the Radius' centre.

Radius - An output for the radius.

Inner Radius - An output for the radius of a circle that can be drawn inside the Input Shapes.

Example
  1. Create 3 Shapes.
  2. Move them apart from each other.
  3. Create a Radius Utility.
  4. Connect the 3 Shapes to the Radius Utility's Input Shapes attribute.
  5. Create an Ellipse.
  6. Disable the Ellipse's Fill and enable Stroke.
  7. Connect radius.centrePosition→ellipse.position.
  8. Connect radius.radius→ellipse.radius.
  9. Move the Input Shapes in the Viewport.

The Ellipse will increase/decrease in size as the Shapes are moved.
