Radius Tool

Summary

This extension allows the user to specify two edges and creates an arc of the specified radius joining the two edges


Basic Operation

The user can also specify (by entering text):
1:	The 'radius' of the arc used to join the edges (just type new value, including '0'); and
2:	The number of segments (by appending new value with 's') that would be used to generate an arc of 90°
3:  Open a dialog to set both parameters by invoking the tool context menu (right-click)


Notes

This tool can be invoked when two valid (i.e. coplanar, non-parallel) edges are pre-selected. The 'radius' and 'number of segments' last used will be in effect.

The 'radius' and number of 'segments' last specified by the user is used for subsequent operations. When freshly loaded, the radius defaults to '1"' and '12' segments.

The number of segments specified by the user will be used for arcs of nominally 90°. Proportionally fewer/more segments will be used for angles less/more than 90°.

If either chosen edge defines a face shared by another edge, that edge is not trimmed after the arc is created.
