BeeGraphy Editor Dimensions Package

Dimension nodes for the BeeGraphy Editor. This package provides tools to measure and render dimension graphics (with labels and arrows) directly in the editor viewport.

Usage

The nodes in this package help you visualize measurements (e.g., distances, angles, bounding boxes) between points and geometry. You can find them under the Dimensions group in the node palette or via search.

Available Nodes

1. Distance Dimension

Measures the distance between two 3D points and renders a labeled dimension graphic (extension lines, main line, optional arrows, and a text label).

• Inputs: start, end, direction (optional), labelOffset (0.2), decimalPlaces (2), labelSuffix ("mm"), labelOverwrite, style.
• Outputs: curve (ThreeCurve), distance (Number).

2. Angular Dimension

Measures and visualizes the angle defined by a center point and two direction vectors. Draws an arc, arrowheads, and a text label.

• Inputs: centerPoint, direction1, direction2, radius (0.5), labelOffset (0.1), decimalPlaces (1), labelSuffix ("°"), labelOverwrite, radians (false), style.
• Outputs: curve (ThreeCurve), angle (Number).

3. Radial Dimension

Measures radius or diameter from a center point to a radius point. Displays value with leader line, arrowhead, and optional center mark.

• Inputs: centerPoint, radiusPoint, labelOffset (0.2), decimalPlaces (2), labelSuffix ("mm"), labelOverwrite, showDiameter (false), showCenterMark (true), style.
• Outputs: curve (ThreeCurve), radius, diameter.

4. Diametrical Dimension

Measures and visualizes a diameter with a specified direction. Draws diameter line with optional arrowheads and center mark.

• Inputs: centerPoint, direction, diameter, labelOffset (0.2), decimalPlaces (2), labelSuffix ("mm"), labelOverwrite, showCenterMark (true), style.
• Outputs: curve (ThreeCurve), diameter, radius.

5. Dimension 2D

Measures and visualizes 2D bounding box dimensions of geometry. Shows width (X), height (Y), and optional diagonal.

• Inputs: geometry, showWidth, showHeight, showDiagonal, labelOffset (0.2), decimalPlaces (2), labelSuffix ("mm"), labelOverwriteX/Y/Diag, style.
• Outputs: curve (ThreeCurve), width, height, diagonal, minPoint, maxPoint.

6. Dimension 3D

Measures and visualizes 3D bounding box dimensions of geometry. Shows width (X), length (Y), height (Z), and optional diagonal.

• Inputs: geometry, showWidth, showLength, showHeight, showDiagonal, labelOffset (0.2), decimalPlaces (2), labelSuffix ("mm"), labelOverwriteX/Y/Z/Diag, style.
• Outputs: curve (ThreeCurve), width, length, height, diagonal.

7. Dimension Style

Produces a reusable style object to control the appearance of dimension graphics.

• Inputs: lineColor, lineThickness (0.01), extensionLineLength (0.1), arrowTailLength (0.2), textColor, textSize (16), textBackgroundColor (#000000), textBackgroundOpacity (0.9), arrowSize (0.05), showArrows (true).
• Output: style (Meta).

Notes:

• Distance Dimension will automatically compute a perpendicular direction if direction is not provided.
• Label text can be fully overridden via labelOverwrite; include {val} to embed the computed value.
