Dimension

[stavh]

Hey Everyone’

I am trying to create a dimension between the TV electric point to the wall that host the door.

The problem I am facing is how to find the XYZ coordinate on the wall to create a straight line between the TV electric point to the wall.

I created a plane using the wall locationCurve and a vector directed up ,XYZ(0,0,1).

plane = Plane.CreateByOriginAndBasis(eleHostLine.GetEndPoint(0), upVector, eleHostLineXYZ);

 and projcted the point on the plane using

UV uv;

double distance;

plane.Project(plugInXYZ, out uv,out distance);

now I am tring to find what are the XYZ coordinate of the projected point on the plane using the UV coordinate.

Idea anyone?

Yes. To get from the 2D UV to the 3D XYZ you can use a Face object and its Evaluate method:
