Line-Plane

The DVTI_lineang Line-Plane measurement is based on the orientation of a line relative to a plane.

Example Model:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\DCS\3DCS_V5_8_1_0_4\3DCS CAD & Example Models\Reference Models\Measures\Line to Plane

 

 

Inputs:

Geometry Requirements: 5 Points  (2 Points for a Line and 3 for a Plane)

Measure Type: Line-Plane

Direction Mode: True Angle, Projected on Plane

Direction: Required for: Projected on Plane

Output:

Direction Mode: True Angle

The measurement calculates the smallest angle between the line and the plane. The measurement will be between 0 and 90 degrees. No direction vector applies. This mode may produce incorrect Contributor Analysis or GeoFactor Equation-Based, see Analysis Comparison & Assumptions.

Direction Mode: Projected on Plane

The measurement calculates the angle as it is viewed from the direction specified. The plane direction and the line direction are projected onto a plane defined by the Vector direction of the measure. Then the angle between the two projected directions is measured.
