Matrix3D.setToRotateTo Method

Parent Object: Matrix3D
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/Matrix3D.h>

Description

Sets to the matrix of rotation that would align the 'from' vector with the 'to' vector. The optional axis argument may be used when the two vectors are perpendicular and in opposite directions to specify a specific solution, but is otherwise ignored

"matrix3D_var" is a variable referencing a Matrix3D object.

# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = matrix3D_var.setToRotateTo(from, to)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = matrix3D_var.setToRotateTo(from, to, axis)

Return Value

Type	Description
boolean	Returns true if successful.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
from	Vector3D	The vector to rotate from.
to	Vector3D	The vector to rotate to.
axis	Vector3D	The optional axis vector to disambiguate the rotation axis. This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
