Element class circle

Construction method Construction data Description
radius points A, B
[plane C]
the circle with center A and radius AB in the plane C
points A, B, C
[plane D]
the circle with center A and radius BC in the plane D
circumcircle points A, B, C
[plane D]
the circle passing through 3 points A, B, and C in the plane D
invert circles A, B the image of circle A inverted in circle B
intersection spheres A, B the intersection of spheres A and B

Element class sector

Construction method Construction data Description
