Definition Mode
In the
Rotate.x dialog box, you can define a rotation
using following options available in the
Definition Mode box.
- Axis-Angle (default mode): The rotation axis
is defined by a linear element and the angle is defined by a value that can be
modified in the dialog box or in the 3D geometry by using the handles.
- Axis-Two Elements <Icon>: The rotation axis is defined by a linear
element and the angle is defined by two geometric elements (point, line, or
plane).
- Axis/point/point: The angle between the vectors is defined by the
selected points and their orthogonal projection onto the rotation
axis.
- Axis/point/line <Icon>: The angle between the vector is defined
by the selected point and its orthogonal projection onto the
rotation axis and the selected line.
- Axis/line/line: The angle between the direction vectors of the
projection is defined by the two selected lines in the plane normal
to the rotation axis. In case both lines are parallel to the
rotation axis, the angle is defined by the intersection points of
the plane normal to the rotation axis and these lines.
- Axis/line/plane: The angle is defined between the selected line and
normal to the plane.
- Axis/plane/plane: The angle is defined between the lines normal to
both selected planes.
- Three Points <Icon>: See the scenario in Creating
Rotations.
