Fit Circle between Circles


Recommended Posts

I'm sure there is a better and indeed more accurate way.

 

But I create a line (center mode) at a tangent from the edge of the each circle. Then I use the circle tool in the 4th mode (Circle from 3 lines mode) and select the three lines and choose the appropriate side to place the circle object.

Hi, beginner question, can I fit a circle between three circles? I'm having a blackout here

 

There is a Marionette network created by @DomC which does exactly what you're asking, available at THIS LINK.

 

Download and open the file named 'Geometry Nodes and PCC CCC.vwx; Look for the network at the far right side with the 'Apollonious PCC CCC v1' node. Click on that 'Apollonious' node, and then on the OIP under the 'Solution' pull-down select "-  -  -". Then click Run.

You'll have to modify the circles in the group to whatever size and configuration you want.

 

HTH.
