[Grasshopper] How to Use Angular Dimension to Set Angle Measurements

This article explains how to use Angular Dimension to set angle measurements.

On the Grasshopper, it is represented by either of the two above.

Set angle dimension

Using Angular Dimension allows you to set angular dimensions.

This time, as an example, we’ll create an angular dimension from an arc and connect it to the Angular Dimension.

Components used: ①Pi ②Multiplication ③Arc ④AngularDimension (Arc) ⑤Angular Dimension

First, prepare 0.5 and Pi.

Next, connect 0.5 and Pi to the Multiplication(A and B), respectively.

Then, 0.5π (π/2) is created.

Then, connect the Multiplication to the Arc(A).

Next, connect the radius value to the Arc(R).

This time, we entered 30.

Then, an arc like the one in the image above will be created.

Next, connect the right side of Arc(A) to the A terminal of Angle Dimension (Arc).

Then, the angle dimension is created.

In this case, a 90° angle will be created.

Next, connect the D terminal of Angle Dimension (Arc) to the Angular Dimension.

Then, the created angular dimension was set in the Angular Dimension.

In this way, you can set angular dimensions in Angular Dimension.

Components used: ①Point ②Angular Dimension

Please note that there is another component with the same name.

This Angular Dimension creates an angular measurement from three points.

Directly set the angle dimension on the rhino

You can also set the angle dimension on Rhino directly in the Angular Dimension.

First, we’ll try setting the dimension of one angle on Rhino directly.

In one case, right-click the Angular Dimension and select “Set one Angular Dimension”.

Then, the screen will switch to Rhino.

Select the angle dimension.

Then, the dimension of one angle was set.

This is the result on Rhino.

Let’s also look at cases involving multiple items.

For multiple instances, right-click the Angular Dimension and select “Set Multiple Angular Dimensions”.

On Rhino, select multiple angular dimensions.

Then, dimensions for multiple angles were set.

This is the result on Rhino.
