Radius Dimensions for an Ellipse

Measure the radius of an indicated ellipse on any of the major planes.

\radel

Indicate the ellipse to be measured and confirm.

Indicate the point on the ellipse circumference to which the radii will be measured. The ellipse radii dimensions will appear as follows:

You may specify any point in the model, not just points on the ellipse circumference.

This feature is useful, for example, when you need to define the location of the foci relative to other points in the model.
