Creation method
There are two options for creating a Line By 4Pnt node.
- The first way to create a Line By 4Pnt 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.
- line , line4Pt
- The second way is to select a Line By 4Pnt node from the menu that opens from the top left.
- Menu > Tool > Primitive curves > Line By 4Pnt
Steps
- Create a Line By 4Pnt node.
- Connect the guide line to the first port.
- Connect the first point to project onto the guide to the second port.
- Connect the endpoint to the third port.
After creating a node, the first input port must be given the start point of the line, and the second port must be given the endpoint of the line. On the output port, you will receive the resulting line.
