Direction Constructors Functions

This function lets you define the formula for direction and axis system constructors.

This page discusses:

direction

Vector->Direction (): Direction


Name	Input / Output	Required?	Type	Comment
	In	Yes	Vector	Converts Knowledge objects into GSD Features to be able to exploit geometrically computed data in GSD.

Direction

let d (Direction)
let v (Vector)
let dd (Direction)
set d = direction(10mm,20mm,30mm)
set v = d->Vector()
set dd = v->Direction()

Direction->Vector (): Vector


Name	Input / Output	Required?	Type	Comment
	In	Yes	Direction	Converts GSD Features into Knowledge objects to be able to exploit mathematically their geometrical features in the Knowledge environment.

Vector

let d (Direction)
let v (Vector)
set d = direction(10mm,20mm,30mm)
set v = d->Vector()

direction(Line) : Direction


Name	Input / Output	Required?	Type	Comment
	In	Yes	Line	Creates a direction from a line.

Direction

Geometrical Set.1\Point.1 = pointtangent

(Geometrical Set.1\Spline.1, direction (Geometrical Set.1\line3))

direction(Plane) : Direction


Name	Input / Output	Required?	Type	Comment
	In	Yes	Plane	Creates a direction from a plane.

Direction

Geometrical Set.1\Point.1 = pointtangent

(Geometrical Set.1\Spline.1, direction (`zx plane`))

direction(x : LENGTH, y : LENGTH, z : LENGTH) : Direction


Name	Input / Output	Required?	Type	Comment
`x`	In	Yes	LENGTH	Creates a direction defined by the reference axes origin and the point whose coordinates are specified in the function argument.
`y`	In	Yes	LENGTH	Creates a direction defined by the reference axes origin and the point whose coordinates are specified in the function argument.
`z`	In	Yes	LENGTH	Creates a direction defined by the reference axes origin and the point whose coordinates are specified in the function argument.
