Input ports

NameTypeDescriptionDefault Value
Center
Point
The circle or arc center point {x, y, z}. This is the origin from which the radius vector starts.
Radius
Point
A point lying on the circle's perimeter (or arc edge). The distance between center point and radius point defines the radius.
Offset
Number
The distance between the dimension line and the label text, measured along the radius direction.1.5
Decimals
Number
Integer [0–6] (default: 2) Number of digits after the decimal point when formatting the numeric value.2
Suffix
String
The unit or text appended to the numeric value.mm
Override
String
Custom label template. If contains {val}, it is replaced with the formatted value. If does not contain {val}, the text is displayed exactly as provided.
Diameter
Boolean
When enabled, the node measures and displays the diameter instead of the radius.
Mark
Boolean
When enabled, draws a small cross mark at the center point to visually indicate the circle's center.
Style
Meta
Defines visual styling of the leader line, arrow, and text.

Creation method

[comment]: <> ()

There are two options for creating a Radial Dimension node.

  • The first way to create a Radial Dimension node 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.
    • radial, radius, dimension, measure, circle
  • The second way is to select a Radial Dimension node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Dimensions > Radial Dimension

Steps

  • Create a Radial Dimension node.
  • Connect the center point to the center port.
  • Connect a point on the circle/arc to the radius point port.
  • Optionally, connect a Dimension Style node to customize appearance.

The Radial Dimension node measures and visualizes the radius of circles and arcs with professional dimension lines, arrows, and leader lines. It automatically calculates the radius and displays it with customizable labels.

It outputs the following values:

Curve - Drawable dimension graphics with arrows and leader lines

Radius - Numeric measured radius value

Center Point - Center point of the circle/arc

Works with circular geometry and provides professional CAD-style radial dimensioning with customizable arrows, labels, and styling. Includes optional center mark for better visualization.
