Intersection of two planes in VB. Planes created by reading out a Database in VBA

Discussion in 'Microstation' started by Alexander Heide, Feb 26, 2004.

  1. Hello people!!!

    Perhaps someone could help me for a problem.
    I read several levels in those in the CAD the walls of an area to
    explain. Now those are indeed levels in the mathematical sense, D.h.
    characterized by one point and the normal vector. That means also,
    that
    the levels in their extent are infinite. Over now to get I would write
    the corners gladly sub also from the
    parameters (first) of the 3 levels the coordinates of the intersection
    computed. After my understanding it must be a function, because the
    result must be spent to another sub with which I then the
    correct walls platziere.

    White someone as goes?
    Coordinates of one point of the respective level as well as their
    normal vector are present in a data base.
    How such does a code in VB look 6? Which mathematical proceeding does
    one select with the computation? Parameter form, Normal form of the
    level (second will itself believes here I to
    offer).

    I would be very very grateful in any case.

    Greetings

    Greetings Alexander!

    May ask what planet you are from? Or
    maybe you are a mental hospital escapee. In
    either case. you are welcome here!

  3. maybe you are a mental hospital escapee.

    No need to be rude.

    Ever heard about translators? Babelfish anyone?
    The original text was most likely written in German (sort of) and translated word-by-word
    to English by some "state-of-the-art" software.

    Now, without overstraining of our collective IQ, anyone can easily see that the guy has a
    database where each of planar surfaces is represented by a single point and a surface normal
    vector (quite common).

    He wants to compute intersections in Visual Basic and ask whether there are suitable
    subroutines.

    He cross-posted his question to MicroStation groups as well, indirectly indicating that he
    have access to this CAD software.

    My answer is that in Microstation Basic-interface is not very well suited to computational
    tasks, and the better choice is using MicroStation MDL where mdlVect_ family of functions
    is sufficient to solve his problem.
