Rulers on Circles

[xplane80]

Having rulers on circles? I think this would be helpful on somethings.

[Kilinich]

Already have in algodoo

[standardtoaster]

I think what he wants is a ruler that goes across the diameter of the circle.

[RA2lover]

k, then having a ruler like that would be the equivalent of having a 100+ sided grid(lag)

[RicH]

Why would you need that?

[Chronos]

Maybe he means radius/diameter?

[xplane80]

Yeah I mean Radius and Diameter. I know I can figure out the radius by dividing the are by pi and then square root it but I would like it to be easier.

[RicH]

Get a box, make it a ruler. Use that.
:\

[Chronos]

It won't be as accurate as this.

[RicH]

With the way he suggested it, it would be as accurate. Having 'rulers' on a circle. Imagine it.
A better way would be to get directly the radius of the circle, instead of having 'rulers' on a circle.

Maybe we could see the dimentions of a shape in the information menu. (for circles and boxes only)

[xplane80]

Yeah, instead of just the area and mass, we could have the dimensions (length and width for boxes) (radius for Circles) and we could also have the weight (Mass * g) but this would be only useful if you were doing planetary systems (like what I do).
