Hey @ all,
I have following problem: For a large number of points with x,y,z coordinates I want to calculate or at least visualize circles. The center of each circle is the respective point at x,y,z.
x: 1 y: 1 z: 1
The diameter of the circle is fixed to 0.25 m. Up to this point, all is fine. Now i want to orient the circular plane in the space based on the specific position vector of the point.
x_pvector: 0.008 y_pvector: -0.09 z_pvector: -0.339
The circular plane should be orthogonal to this vector. I found a way to calculate 3 points on the border of this plane and fit at circle afterwards – but this is really time-consuming and laborious.
Is there any elegant solution, that I might have overlooked? Thanks a lot for any comments! 🙂
R.
