For my current model I need a series of concentric circles, and I haven't fully decided the proportions. Is there a way in which I could create them and alter their radiuses after?
Thanks in advance

If in one mesh you create a set of circles of each a different radius, you can adjust the radii individually by moving your cursor over an edge/vertex of any of the circles and pressing L. This will select all geometry linked to the element under your mouse cursor.
Then you can change the radius of the circle by pressing S to scale it, this is a freeform operation. If you want to specify the exact radius that the Circle should be then you can use an addon described here called "LoopTools" (it comes with Blender, you just have to enabled it)

You can change the radius of a cirle by scaling it
By scaling up with factor 2, the radius will be scaled too by the factor of 2.
I hope that helps.

Another way to change the radius of a circle in Blender (see also accompanying screenshot):
- Choose Object Mode
- Select your circle
- Choose Edit Mode
- Choose Object Properties "tab"
- Change the X and Y coordinates to the desired radius
Done!
