   Dimension: Angle (node)

An angular dimension from three points - vertex plus two arms.

Category: Construct | Add menu: Construct > Dimension: Angle

Inputs

• Vertex (point): the corner the angle opens from.
• Arm 1 (point) / Arm 2 (point): a point on each arm.
• Radius (any, editable): the arc radius (how far out the dimension arc draws). Wire a point and the radius is its distance from the vertex, or give a number or a value field.
• Reflex (boolean): wire a Toggle to measure the reflex angle (> 180 degrees) instead of the minor one.

Outputs

• Dimension (any): a dimension payload, materialized by Realize. It's a list, so Collect gathers many.

What it is for

Builds an angular dimension from three points instead of drawing one by hand, so the annotation tracks whatever the graph produces.

Nothing appears in the model until the output runs into Realize. The output is a list, so use Collect to gather several into one stream.
