Important

Deprecated. This node is no longer in the menus. Use Explode, which answers for every shape and takes a group apart a layer at a time. Documents built with this node still open and still work.

Explode Circle (node)

A circle's center and radius.

A circle with its Center extracted as a point blue point and a dashed Radius spoke.

Note

The input socket is typed any (grey wildcard), not circle-specific - see Explode Segment for why the whole Explode family works this way.

Inputs

  • Circle (any): the circle to break apart.

Outputs

  • Center (point): the circle's center point.
  • Radius (number): the circle's radius, in mm.

What it is for

Pulls a circle apart into its center point and its radius, the two things anything else needs to be built concentric with it or sized from it.

Two things to watch. It matches any arc, so an open arc will explode here as though it were a circle. And with several wired in, Center comes out as a list but Radius is only the first one's.
