Methods

getPositionFromRelativeNormalPosition

cee.ug.CuttingPlaneUtils.getPositionFromRelativeNormalPosition(relVal, normal, boundingBox)

Gets a position from a relative position along the given normal on the given bounding box.

Arguments

  • relVal (number) – The relative value to get the position for (0..1)

  • normal (cee.Vec3Like) – The normal direction to compute the position in

  • boundingBox (cee.BoundingBox) – The bounding box defining the range of positions for the point (usually the model bounding box)

Return type

cee.Vec3

This is useful for implementing a slider moving the cutting plane back and forth in the direction of the plane’s normal vector.

getRelativeNormalPosition

cee.ug.CuttingPlaneUtils.getRelativeNormalPosition(point, normal, boundingBox)

Gets a relative position along the given normal and bounding box for the given point

Arguments

  • point (cee.Vec3Like) – The point to compute the relative position for

  • normal (cee.Vec3Like) – The normal direction to use for the computation

  • boundingBox (cee.BoundingBox) – The bounding box defining the range of positions for the point (usually the model bounding box)

Return type

number

Useful for updating the slider position based on the current position of a cutting plane.
