Creation method#

There are two options for creating the Point Polar node.#

  • The first way to create the Point Polar node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need or words associated with this node.
    • pntOrient, orientPoint
  • The second way is to select the Point Polar node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Vector > Point Polar

Steps#

  • Create the Point Polar node.
  • Connect the plane-defining polar coordinate space to the first port.
  • Connect the angle in radians for P(x,y) rotation to the second port.
  • Connect the angle in radians for P(z) rotation to the third port.
  • Connect the offset distance for point to the fourth port.

After creating a node, connect the plane-defining polar coordinate space to the first port. Connect the angles in radians for P(x,y) and P(z) rotations to the second and third ports. The offset distance for point to the fourth port. On the output port, we will get a result polar point.
