A snap circle is a component that is able to generate a point on a circle along a plane given a point by another component. Usually this is used in components like the [[Component:MultiUserAvatarAnchor|Multi User Avatar Anchor Component]] to determine where to place the anchors upon clicking (click point is used in such case) When provided a point, it finds the closest point on a circle and normal and returns that to the component that called it.
The functionality of this component is internal, and cannot be used by [[ProtoFlux]] to snap points using in game code.
