Cannot divide circle

Hi,

I am trying to divide a circle into 3 segments. For some reasons the 3 points locate at the same location. Why is that?

Hey PM,

I recreated your defenition and it seems that the problem is that you´re using to large numbers. Try scaling the radius down to 4000 and it divides the circle just fine. But go beyond and it just gives one division point, like you said.

I would advise you to scale your whole model down by a factor 1000 and just use 5 and 1 instead of 5000 and 1000.

Good luck

My goodness! you are right. So GH can't handle large number?

Thanks so much!

Hmm not sure... Maybe ask David for that. What might be an option is changing the unit size in your rhino model properties (from meters to millimeters).

Cheers!
