Construction of a given radius circle tangent to the two lin

[johanes]

Someone asked me this question: how to build a circle with a given radius, tangent to two concurrent straight, flush, some?
At first sight the problem seems simple, but try and tell me some how.

Which ArchiCAD version are you using?
Two concurrent straight are two line crossing each other?

Does the tangential method not work for you? Haven't used it myself (and don't have AC in front of me) so not sure if the third point can be a radius by simply typing "R" before input.

EDIT: Just tried and it doesn't work that way.

Is this what you are looking for?

Fillet the two lines at the radius of your circle. Move your circle over the arc and re-intersect the lines.

This works too.
