Creation method
There are two options for creating an Orient Direction node.
- The first way to create an Orient Direction 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.
- orientDir
- The second way is to select an Orient Direction node from the menu that opens from the top left.
- Menu > Tool > Transform > Orient Direction
Steps
- Create an Orient Direction node.
- Connect the base geometry you want to reorient to the first port.
- Connect the reference point to the second port.
- Connect the reference direction to the third port.
- Connect the target point to the fourth port.
- Connect the target direction to the fifth port.
After creating a node, connect the base geometry you want to reorient to the first port. To the second port, you need to connect the reference point, and the reference direction to the third port. The target point is to the fourth port, and the target direction is to the fifth port. On the output port, you will get the reoriented geometry.
