A radius (or diameter) dimension from a center point and a rim point.

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

• Center (point): the circle's center.
• Rim (point): a point on the circle; the radius is |Rim - Center| and the leader points at it. No target circle is needed - the two points define it.
• Distance (any, editable): the label's distance from the center, which picks inside (< radius) or outside placement. Wire a point (distance from the center), or give a number or field; the default sits the label at the rim.
• Diameter (boolean): wire a Toggle to label the diameter instead of the radius.

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

Labels a circle's radius or diameter from two points, a center and a point on the rim. No actual circle needs to exist; the two points define the one being measured.

Distance decides more than spacing here: a value below the radius puts the label inside the circle, above it puts the label outside. Like the other dimension nodes, nothing shows until Realize.

• In the modeling view: Dimension: Radial - draw the same dimension by hand, with the same inside/outside placement.
• Arrow Style: set the leader's arrowhead.
• Dimensions: measuring, styling, and export.
