Use this when you need to place something as far as possible from every boundary of a site or room — for example, positioning a courtyard, roundabout, or open amenity space at the most generous, least-constrained point inside an irregular lot.

Description: returns the largest circle that fits inside a polygon
This finds a polygon's "pole of inaccessibility" — the point furthest from every edge — and draws the largest circle that fits around it.
Inputs
Name | Abbreviation | Type | Access | Description |
polygon | P | Cartesian | Item | the polygon to fit a circle inside |
segments (optional, default 32) | S | Number | Item | the number of segments in the circle |
Outputs
Name | Abbreviation | Type | Access | Description |
circle | Ci | Cartesian | Item | the inscribed circle |
center | Ce | Vector | Item | the center of the circle |
radius | R | Number | Item | the radius of the circle |
How to
Add the Inscribed Circle node.
Feed in a polygon.
Optionally set "segments" to control how smooth the circle is (higher = smoother, default 32).
The outputs are the circle itself, its center point, and its radius.
