•     Curve(Edge) type

•    Geometry: Inputs an edge geometry.

•     Surface, Solid type

•    Geometry: Inputs a surface or solid geometry.

•     Result

•    Radius: Shows the calculated radius of the selected geometry.

•    Arc Length: Shows the total length of the selected geometry.

•    Center Point: Shows the center point of the selected geometry.

•     Preview: Shows Center Point in the Working Window.
