# Circle

To create a Circle in the Main Menu select New Entity - > Basic - > Circle

There are 2 algorithms to create a Circle in the 3D space.

The Result of each operation will be a GEOM_Object (edge).

Firstly, you can define a Circle by a Center Point, a Vector giving the circle’s normal and a Radius.

TUI Command: geompy.MakeCircle(Point, Vector, Radius)

Arguments: Name + 1 vertex (for the center) + 1 edge (for the direction) + Radius.

Secondly, you can define a Circle by three Points that lie on it.

TUI Command: geompy.MakeCircleThreePnt(Point1, Point2, Point3)

Arguments: Name + 3 points which will form the circle.

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of creation of Basic Geometric Objects.
