Direction Constructors

You can manage the direction by defining the formula using direction constructors.

Direction objects cannot be created by using the 'New Parameter of type' capability in f(x) but you are required to use them in other constructors when the constructors is to be passed an argument of a direction type. Examples are given below.


  • direction (x: Length, y: Length, z: Length): Direction

    Creates a direction defined by the reference axes origin and the point whose coordinates are specified in the function argument.

Example:

Geometrical Set.1\Point.1 = pointtangent 
(Geometrical Set.1\Spline.1, direction (10mm,10mm,10mm))

  • direction (Line): Direction

    Creates a direction from a line.

Example:

Geometrical Set.1\Point.1 = pointtangent 
(Geometrical Set.1\Spline.1, direction (Geometrical Set.1\line3))

  • direction (Plane): Direction

    Creates a direction from a plane.

Example:

Geometrical Set.1\Point.1 = pointtangent 
(Geometrical Set.1\Spline.1, direction (`zx plane`))
