Creation method

There are two options for creating a Tangent Arcs node.

  • The first way to create a Tangent Arcs node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need or words associated with this node.
    • arc , tg
  • The second way is to select a Tangent Arcs node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Primitive curves > Tangent Arcs

Steps

  • Create a Tangent Arcs node.
  • Connect the first base circle to the first port.
  • Connect the second base circle to the second port.
  • Connect the radius of tangent arcs to the third port.

After creating the node, connect the first base circle to the first port, the second base circle to the second port, and the radius of tangent arcs to the third port. On the output ports, you will receive the first and second tangent arc's solution.
