I have a group of points (a plane for example) and I want to project them all to a plane (simplest case == WORKPLANE). Is there some smart way to do it all at once (a.k.a. "the JEFMAN way") or is it only possible with a loop? I haven't found anything yet...
The object of this is to create a secondary tangent plane perpendicular to the primary by the following method:
- measure the secondary plane
- project all points up/down to the primary (WORKPLANE)
- construct a tangent plane from the original plane points + the projected points (guaranteed to be perpendicular to the primary as that is our projection direction)
As a follow-up question: How can I use an ARRAY variable in the same way as .HIT[...] in the construction of a tangent plane?
Coming in 2019 R1...... Constructed Secondary Datum Line and Constructed Tertiary Datum Point (we also renamed Tangent plane to: Primary Datum Plane). The primary, secondary and tertiary constructed datum features represent a datum reference frame of 3 planes external to material and nominally constrained in orientation (tertiary datum can be at basic angle other than 90 from secondary).
