SOLIDOS Modeler - Orthogonal Projection Vector

Orthogonal Projection Vector - creates a vector that is the orthogonal projection onto a plane, whose normal is specified

This vector can be used to rotate devices on an axis, using the Grips in space

The Orthogonal Projection Vector activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - name of the activity
    The point name must follow the naming rules
  • Vector - name of the vector that you want to project onto the plane
  • Normal - name of the vector normal to the plane where you want to project the vector
  • Visible Object - indicates whether or not the point should be drawn on the preview

Note that the X-axis vector (red) is being projected onto the plane that has the normal vector called VectorNormal (yellow), resulting in the VectorOrthoProjectTo vector (blue, on the gray plane)

If the text becomes too large/small, or the sphere representing the point becomes too large or small, use the button (A, a, , ) at the top of the screen to change the preview
