Rotation

To produce a Rotation in the Main Menu select Operations - > Transformation - > Rotation

This operation rotates the initial shape.

The first Rotation algorithm needs you to define an Object  to be rotated, an Axis of rotation and an Angle of rotation.

TUI Command: geompy.MakeRotation(Shape, Axis, Angle)

Arguments: 1 shape + 1 vector for direction of rotation + 1 angle.

Reverse checkbox allows to specify the direction of rotation.

Create a copy checkbox allows to keep the initial object, otherwise it will be removed.

The Result will be any GEOM_Object.

The second algorithm allows to define the rotated Object by three points. Rotation axis will pass through the Central Point and will be will be orthogonal to a plane defned by three points. In this case rotation Angle is the angle between two vectors directed from the first point to the second and to the third.

TUI Command: geompy.MakeRotationThreePoints(Shape, CentralPoint, Point1, Point2).

Arguments: 1 shape + 3 points.

Example:

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of the use of Transformation Operations.
