If you want dynamic control of the shape you can bring the function constants outside of the function parameters.

Wich button is that r c (the second, linked with the 360 slider)? When I open the definition, it is not there.

Althought, thanks :)

Hi Hugo,

 

this is a new component so be sure you've downloaded the latest Grasshopper version.

It converts values from degrees to radians.

But you can also write, when you right click on the B input, into the Expression part of the menu rad(B), this will do the same.

The letter in the bracket is always the variable/letter of the input in which you are writing.

 

Best,

Martin.
