Circle (Center, Boundary) (3D)

Create Circle (Center, Boundary)Circle (Center, Boundary) - Part LevelUse this command to create a circle by defining its center and a boundary point. Concentric circles can be created by selecting additional boundary points. For 3D circles, an additional point is used to locate the plane of the circle.

 

 

  1. Select the center point.

  2. Select a point to define the plane of the circle.

  3. Select the boundary point or enter a radius/diameter depending on the current mode of the Rad/Dia option (see below).

  4. Select additional boundary points for more circles.  If the Project Boundary Points option (see Optional Inputs below) is checked, the circles will be concentric.

  5. Middle-click or pick OK to end the command.
     

 

Optional Inputs are documented here.Optional Inputs

 

Rad/Dia Command Option - CirclesRad/Dia

Use this option to indicate the type of input desired during circle and arc commands.

 

Project Boundary Points

For 3D circles, if a successive boundary point is selected and this option is checked, the point is projected onto the locating plane defined by the first three points.
