Circle From Length
Demonstrates how to add a circle based on its circumference using Python.
# Create a circle from a center point and a circumference.
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import math
def CreateCircle(circumference=None):
center = rs.GetPoint("Center point of circle")
if center:
plane = rs.MovePlane(rs.ViewCPlane(), center)
length = circumference
if length is None: length = rs.GetReal("Circle circumference")
if length and length>0:
radius = length/(2*math.pi)
objectId = rs.AddCircle(plane, radius)
rs.SelectObject(objectId)
return length
return None
