radius(obj)

Parameters

obj

-

geometric object

Description

• 

If obj is a sphere, radius(obj) returns the radius of obj.

• 

If obj is a regular polyhedron or an archimedean solid, radius(obj) returns the radius of the circum-sphere which passes through all the vertices.

• 

If obj is a dual of an archimedean solid, radius(obj) returns the radius of the in-sphere which touches all the faces.

• 

The command with(geom3d,radius) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
