Plane Constructor (Point3d, Point3d, Point3d)

Plane Constructor (Point3d, Point3d, Point3d)

Initializes a plane from three non-collinear points.

Namespace:  Rhino.Geometry
Assembly:  RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll)
Since: 5.0
Syntax
Copy
public Plane(
	Point3d origin,
	Point3d xPoint,
	Point3d yPoint
)
Public Sub New ( 
	origin As Point3d,
	xPoint As Point3d,
	yPoint As Point3d
)

Parameters

origin
Type: Rhino.GeometryPoint3d
Origin point of the plane.
xPoint
Type: Rhino.GeometryPoint3d
Second point in the plane. The x-axis will be parallel to x_point-origin.
yPoint
Type: Rhino.GeometryPoint3d
Third point on the plane that is not collinear with the first two points. taxis*(y_point-origin) will be > 0.
Examples
Copy
