Dependencies

This node requires Circlify library to work.

Functionality

This node draws several circles close to one another, thus packing them into one bigger circle.

Inputs

This node has the following inputs:

  • Radiuses. List of circle radiuses. Exact values of these radises are not used; only their relations (proportions) are used. Actual sizes of generated circles depend on MajorRadius input as well. This input is mandatory.

  • Center. The origin point of whole generated picture. The default value is global origin (0, 0, 0).

  • MajorRadius. The radius of the bigger circle, into which all other should be packed. The default value is 1.0.

Parameters

This node has the following parameters:

  • Plane. The coordinate plane in which the circles will be generated. The available values are XY, YZ and XZ. The default value is XY.

  • Show enclosure. Whether to generate the big circle, into which all other are inscribed. Checked by default.

if Show enclosure is Off then MajorRadius and Center are not preset in outputs sockets data (Cicles, Centers and Radiuses)

Outputs

This node has the following outputs:

  • Circles. Generated circle curve objects.

  • Centers. Central points of generated circles.

  • Radiuses. Radiuses of generated circles.
