Draw Circle by Diameter Sketchup
Diameter instead of radius
The ideal place for beginners to get help using SketchUp
Diameter instead of radius
Hi
There are no lightheaded questions:)
These tease me all the time. When I depict circumvolve with standard SU circle tool I must write radius, only I would similar to write in bore. Is it possible?

No, just the radius is e'er half the diameter 
Even so there are 'alternative' ways to draw circles [and arcs etc] - meet 2dTools - here you get the circle-through-3-points, circle-past-eye-radius and circle-by-start-diameter etc

So you tin e'er enter bore/2 into the Measurement box...

Thought I was having a Doh moment merely this but seems to work with the division operator. I was beginning to think nosotros had a discrete estimator available

Yep but how you depict a circle between 2 objects ? (in the easy case horizontal or vertical)
Y'all must first draw a line for have the centre of them and and so the middle!
And the best will exist a plug for that!
Considering even the Circle by Diameter don't piece of work in this case!
Only 2 points to click
else you must without plug brand some catchy align views/ axes etc... 
The more easy seams to draw a line betwixt the corners, then a rectangle
then the circumvolve
Then kill line, rectangle

Aye, Pilou, but that was not the question on one hand and again, nosotros are in the Newbie forum on the other so permit'due south keep it simple at the beginning...

What's no more elementary to draw a circle ?
Information technology'southward similar that i have understood the question of the kickoff post!

Hello Pilou, hi folks.
At that place is an infinite number of circles between ii points since there is an infinite number of planes around a line (the diameter).
Just ideas.

In the instance of the inclined circumvolve above
an infinite number of planes around a line
Merely only ane with a bore // to the ground ! (i believe that will exist a tricky plug
(in fact 2 if your circle has a color unlike recto verso

Absurd, I similar that 100/2 choice. Exactly what I am looking for when I am besides lazy to divide D to get R
Thank you!

Lightheaded question: Why does Layout let y'all set a circle past bore... namely typing for exampe: five" d in the toolbar to become a five" diameter circle and Sketchup itself does not?

It does allow - with a flake of basic calculation input - except when you lot likewise desire to use the unit (information technology seems). I employ a (centi)metric template and I can enter (say) 100/2 and it will depict a circle with an 50cm radius (i.e. 100cm dia).
I guess this does not help much with architectural imperial template for example...

I too would like this. It takes as well much time to switch to a separate calculator to figure out a complex circle's radius. I thought the /2 idea would work but it doesn't I accept a Sketchup model that is prepare to decimal inches. I keep trying to draw a circle with a i.25" diameter. If I type one.25/2 in the box I get a circle with a radius of one.25. I've tried a number of dissimilar ways of typing this to no avail.

I use the scale tool. I draw the circle, employ the scale tool by clicking on corner holding cntl fundamental. Start the move and type in 2 or .5 to double or halve the circumvolve

I've just practiced doing the math in my head. I must say I've gotten faster at it with practice. Information technology really isn't a big problem for me.
I would find scaling a circumvolve after I've drawn information technology kind of a hurting peculiarly if information technology is drawn on something else in a location where the larger circle would have to cross other geometry.

So endeavour 125/200 instead of 1.25/2 .

The technique of entering n/m works only considering SketchUp's measurements box accepts fractions, not because it implements a split operator as such. In a fraction both n and thou must be integers. Any other type does not become treated as a numerator or denominator of a fraction.
