How to create radius measurements?

Post by libertyline »

Hey everyone!
New user here. I am a general contractor building homes for disabled veterans.
One of the requirements to be shown in floor plans is the turn radius minimum requirements for a wheelchair (generally 3'-4').

They want this to be shown as a circular radius measurement, not simply a linear measurement between obstacles.
I will attach an image link as an example.

Is this feature available on Sweet Home 3D?

If >I< had to do this, I would use walls...

1 - draw a wall from A to B, than back to A
2 - Use Modify Walls - change Height and Thickness to 1 or 0.1, and Arc Extent to 180 - this gives a perfect circle that looks like a line
3 - Add Dimensions manually, or use Autodimensiong plugin (link).

You could also use this PWD symbol model designed for this purpose. It just different materials in case you want to show only the wheelchair symbol or the circle.
