![[Grasshopper] How to use Degrees to convert from radians to degrees](https://iarchway.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Degrees.png)
This article explains how to use Degrees to convert from radians to degrees
On the Grasshopper, it is represented by either of the two above.
Converting an angle from radians to degrees
Degrees can be used to convert an angle from radians to degrees.
First, we entered the number 3.142, which is close to pi.
Since Π is 180 degrees in degrees, the output was thus a number of approximately 180.
As shown in the image above, we entered Π.
Then, the number 180 was output and converted to degrees, as shown here.
Π can already be represented by the Pi component of Grasshopper.
By connecting these components, it is also converted to the number of degrees of 180.
Components used: (1) Pi ( 2) Multiplication (3) Degrees
As shown above, Π and 2 are multiplied by Multiplication to create the number 2Π.
Connecting it to Degrees, 360, the degree of 2Π, is output.
Converting to Degrees without Degrees 1
It may be possible to convert to degrees without using Degrees, depending on the component used.
Components used: (1) Rotate
As an example, we will use Rotate.
Under normal conditions, if a numerical value is input to the terminal connecting angles, it will be calculated in radians instead of degrees.
Therefore, even if 180 is entered, the value is displayed as 10313.24°.
Right-click on the Rotate(A) and select Degrees.
Then, as you can see, we were able to convert from radians to degrees.
Some components may or may not be able to do this, so right-click on the Rotate(A) and look for the Degrees icon.
How to convert to degrees without using Degrees 2
Here is another way to convert to degrees without using Degrees.
This time, we will use Pi.
Right-click on the Pi(y) and enter Deg(X) in Expression.
Then, this method could also be converted to degrees.
Note that this method is also only possible with components that can use Expression.
