Input:

Geometry Requirements: 4 Points

Measure Type: Line-Line

Direction Mode: True Angle, Projected on Plane

Direction: Required for: Projected on Plane

Output:

Direction Mode: True Angle

The measurement calculates the true angle between the two lines. The measurement will be between 0 and 180 degrees. No direction vector applies. This mode may produce incorrect Contributor Analysis or GeoFactor Equation-Based results, see Analysis Comparison & Assumptions.

Direction Mode: Projected on Plane

The measurement calculates the true angle as it is viewed from the direction specified. The measurement will be between -180 and +180 degrees. The measurement will be negative if the angle between the direction vector and the two line vectors is more than 90 degrees.
