Rotation expressions
The following expressions are used for rotation functions:
| 3 POINTS ROTATION | Description |
|---|
| Returns | A rotation value. |
| Syntax | point3rotation(vector1,vector2,vector3) Vector1, vector2, and vector3 are vectors that represent three discrete positions in 3D space. Example: point3rotation({0,0,0},{100,100,100},{100,0,-100})The rotation vector that this returns is: {-120,-35.26,45}.This rotation vector is derived by the axes (vector2-vector1) to spin the axes correctly on the third position vector (vector3). |
