Vector3D Class

Represents a direction with magnitude in 3D space. Immutable.

Namespace: Autodesk.Navisworks.Api
Assembly: Autodesk.Navisworks.Api (in Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Class Vector3D _
	Inherits NativeHandle
C#
public class Vector3D : NativeHandle
Visual C++
public ref class Vector3D : public NativeHandle

Remarks

Vector3D objects appear in various areas of the API.

This class represents a geometrical vector. A vector is what is needed to translate from point A to point B.

         }

         //return the vector
