Creating a Line at the Bisection of Two Lines

You can create a line that bisects the angle between two lines into equal parts.

Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing geometric elements.
  1. From the Model section of the action bar, click Line .
    The Line Definition dialog box appears.
  2. Select Bisecting.
  3. Select two lines. Their bisecting line is the line splitting in two equals parts the angle between these two lines.
  4. Select a point as the starting point for the line. By default it is the intersection of the bisecting line and the first selected line.
  5. Select the support surface.
  6. Specify the line's length by defining Line End and Point Offset values.
    The corresponding bisecting line is displayed.
  7. You can choose between two solutions, using Next Solution , or directly clicking the numbered arrows in the geometry.


  8. Click OK to create the line.
    The line (identified as Line.xxx) is added to the specification tree.
    Important:
    • You can select a support on which the line is to be created. The selected points are projected onto this support.
    • You can reverse the direction of the line by either clicking the displayed vector or selecting Reverse direction (not available with the point-point line type).
