Creation method#

[comment]: <> ()

There are two options for creating a Vector Subtract node.#

  • The first way to create a Vector Subtract node 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.
    • sub , subtract , vector , diff
  • The second way is to select a Vector Subtract node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Vector > Vector Subtract

Steps#

  • Create a Vector Subtract node.
  • Connect the first vector for the subtraction to the first port.
  • Connect the second vector for the subtraction to the second port.
  • Connect the boolean to get the normalized vector to the third port.

After creating the node, connect the first vector for the subtraction to the first port and to the second port the second vector. Connect the boolean to get the normalized vector to the third port. On the output ports, you will get the difference vector and length of the vector.
