point()

Synopsis

Creates a point relative to the local Frame . Note that even though the point is created using local coordinates, it is stored using World coordinates, and so does not have to be transformed for use in other contexts.

Syntax

point ( x As Number, _
        y As Number, _
        z As Number ) As Point 
Argument Type Description
x Number The local x coordinate of the point .
y Number The local y coordinate of the point .
z Number The local z coordinate of the point .

Example 1

Intent >point(1,0,0) 
--> Point_(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, WorldFrame()) 

Example 2

Intent >point(1,0,0) + (unitZ * 3) 
--> Point_(1.0, 0.0, 3.0, WorldFrame())
