Modeling Menus

Construct menu

The Construct menu - derived geometry - perpendiculars, bisectors, midpoints, tangents, intersections.

Each command has its own page - with the tool in depth, its diagram, and links to the matching node and guide.

Points: Intersection - a point where two objects cross.

Point: Midpoint - the point halfway between two points.

Point: Divide - split a span or segment into equal parts.

Point: On Object - a point that slides along a segment or circle.

Center of Circle - the center point of each selected circle, made if it is not already there.

Line: Perpendicular Through Point - a line perpendicular to another through a point.

Line: Parallel - a line parallel to another through a point.

Line: Perpendicular Bisector - the line perpendicular to a segment through its midpoint.

Line: Angle Bisector - the line that bisects an angle.

Line: Tangent to Circle - the tangent line from a point to a circle or arc.

Line: Tangent to Two Circles - a line that touches two circles at once; the cursor picks among the ghosted answers.

Circle: Apollonius - the circle that touches or passes through three things you pick.

Circle Tangent to... - a circle at a center you pick, sized to touch one other object; the cursor picks among the ghosted answers.

Mirror - reflect the selected objects across a mirror axis.
