Grasshopper equivalent to Rhino's "Angle Dimensions"?

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):

CenterPointAnimation

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 :slight_smile:

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 :pray: 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:

DimensionAnimation

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.

Very clever… It’s working perfect, Thank you so much :pray:
