Defining a Point at a Specific Angle from a
Projected Line
To measure the angles on a snap plane, you define a point at a specific angle from
a projected line.
►
To define a point at a specific angle from a projected line:
1
Select the Snap Plane
option on the Snap toolbar.
The last Snap plane created appears. To define a new snap plane, use the
Define Snap Plane option
, as described in the Defining a Snap Plane
Using Point Sets section on page 81 and the Defining a Snap Plane Using an
Existing Plane section on page 83.
2
Click the
icon on the Measurement toolbar.
3
Select the Choose a Line by Two Points
option on the Line toolbar.
The
cursor point now has a corresponding point, which is its projection onto the
snap plane.
NOTE
All points or lines defined while in the Snap-to-Plane mode are
based on the cursor’s projected points, and not on the actual
position of the cursor.
4
Define a projected line by double-clicking a point in the point cloud (line’s
start point).
– OR –
Instead of defining a new point, select a previously defined point in the
Primitives pane by double-clicking the point in the Primitives pane.
5
Double-click an additional point in the point cloud (line’s end point).
