Hi, thanks for reading. I want to do an auto line between 2 planes. How can I get the line from one plane to the other? And straight? Having a time with this. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
not sure exactly what you mean, but if you open the construction dialogue and change out of auto while watching the graphic window, does it not show you what that result is?
Auto is probably going to try and intersect the two planes, so I'm guessing you don't want that. Best Fit, maybe? Not sure why you would do that though.
If what you want is a line (probably 3D) from centroid of plane one to centroid of plane two (what I believe Best Fit would do), you could make a point from each plane, then a line from the points.
If you want a line perpindicular to a plane, make a generic feature, set the XYZ to Pln1.X, Pln1.Y, Pln1.Z and then do the same for I J K, Pln1.I, Pln1.J and Pln1.K.
Then intersect that line with the second plane, and you could get a distance point to point along that line, if you need that for some reason. Easier ways to get a distance, but you might want that specific value for some reason.
