Creation method

There are two options for creating a Plane By Line+Pnt node.

  • The first way to create a Plane By Line+Pnt 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.
    • constructPlane , plane , line
  • The second way is to select a Plane By Line+Pnt node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Vector > Plane By Line+Pnt

Steps

  • Create a Plane By Line+Pnt node.
  • Connect the origin of the plane to the first port.
  • Connect the X-direction point to the second port.
  • Connect the orientation point to the third port.

After creating a node, connect the origin of the plane to the first port, the X-direction point to the second port, and the orientation point to the third port. On the output port, you will get the plane definition.
