interLinePlane()

Synopsis

Returns the point of intersection between an infinite line and an infinite plane defined by respective points and vectors. An error is signaled if the line is parallel to the plane. Returns the point of intersection.

Syntax

interLinePlane ( linePoint As Point, _
                 lineDir As Vector, _
                 planePoint As Point, _
                 planeNormal As Vector ) As Point 

Argument	Type	Description
linePoint	Point	Point on the line to intersect.
lineDir	Vector	Direction of the line.
planePoint	Point	Point on the plane to intersect.
planeNormal	Vector	Normal vector of the plane.

Example 1

Intent >interLinePlane(point(2,2,0), vector(1,3,0), point(0,0,0), vector(1,0,0)) 
--> Point_(0.0, -4.0, 0.0, WorldFrame()) 

This is the point where the line crosses the YZ plane.
