Hello Friends,
I was looking for a way to get an angular dimension in Grasshopper that would only require two lines and would not require a center point as it makes extracting angular dimensions much harder.
In Rhino (no center point needed):
In Grasshopper (needs a center point):
Is there a component or another way to create the same angular dimensions but without the need for a center point in Grasshopper?
Many Thanks in Advance
Roy.

just create the center point with line-line-intersection ?

(the Elefront Plug-in has some Dimension / Annotation Components as well)

Thank you for your help That’s a very good solution.
Too bad there is no way to set where the dimension is drawn as it takes the center point into consideration:
As the angle gets larger and the intersection point gets further, it also draws the dimension further away from the midpoints…

check the Elefront Version of Angular Dimensions - it allows to define the position (as distance from the center - i think)
EDIT
like this:
angluar_dimension_02.gh (8.2 KB)
of course you can also take larger / smaller / average distance to position the dimension.
