Solids Builder - Ellipse

Ellipse - creates a ellipse given center, normal vector, major axis vector, major radius and minor radius:

The Ellipse activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - ellipse name
    The name of the ellipse must follow the naming rules
  • Center - name of the point Where: the center of the ellipse is
  • Vector - name of the vector normal to the plane of the ellipse
  • Major Axis - name of the vector of major axis into the plane of the ellipse
  • Major Radius - a VB expression to evaluate the major radius value
  • Minor Radius - a VB expression to evaluate the major radius value
  • Start Angle - a VB expression to evaluate the value in radians for the initial angle of the ellipse a count counterclockwise from the X axis
  • End Angle - a VB expression to evaluate the value in radians for the final angle of the ellipse a count counterclockwise from the X axis
  • Visible Object - indicates whether or not the point should be drawn in the preview
    
    

If the text is too big/small, or the sphere representing the point is too big or small, use the buttons ( A, a, , ) at the top of the screen to change the preview
