Imperfect Sirkle
-
I was working on a dormer when I wanted to create some insulation. so I started creating my batting inside the exterior wall.
as I started off I partition half of the space for a circle and wanted a center. made the cross... centered the circle. and afterwards the circle I end up with elongated... either way I do it. it's elongated the other way.
I also tried changing the number of side on the circle.
the units are set to 1/16" precision. arch format
any ideas as to why it's an ellipse?
-
What number of segments are you using? As the SU circle is always in the end a polygon, only a circle with a segment count divisible by 4 would fit exactly inside a square, with an endpoint touching each side.

I used 96 and still got the same output.

I could not reproduce it either.

Attach the skippy Kris.

Chris,
I changed the units to centimetres (it's quite unconfortable for me to think in fractions of inches) with 4 decimal accuracy (I usually work with just 3).
See attatched image and redraw those squares.

As I suspected... your square was not square.
Do as Gai suggested or better yet, draw a line on one side of the square, not inside the component. Then rotate it to the other side and you will see for sure that they don't match.
Sloppy Kris :esurp:
Just funnin' with you. :ewink: -

Ah yeah, before any misunderstanding, the comma is used as a decimal separator in Hungary, not the dot.
-
wow.. I swear I used the inferences to check the corners... and then the measurements seemed to confirm I had the right lengths.
good job guys. and a good point to remember, it's almost always human error. bugs are few and far between.
(we should leave this here for a few days so people can see it's compeltetion. and then remove it from the bugs list.)
-
and just to add... another thanks. it's like getting the cure for a disease when someone fixes your problem.

Welcome, Kris.
And I know how that is. And sometimes the solution is just there.
I couldn't get used to these "architectural" units of yours though... -
as well you shouldn't get used to our imperial system... is archaic and irrational. 10 units of 1 and 0 that is the universal language, that... when and if ever we meet another life form, from another place, will be the language they know.

UNLESS they have 16 fingers ? Then it'd be in Hexadecimal... But it's true that on/off 1/0 binary is the simplest of all... Of course base 12 like feet/inches does have it's advantages - 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 2/3 and 3/4 are all whole numbers - unlike metric/decimal where only 1/2 and assorted 1/10ths work... That's why long a go some one put 12 hours into the day and night and 360 degrees in a circle - 360 is a multiple of 12 and subdivides into lots of whole numbers - unlike gradians and radians...
