  Re: Finding a rotation matrix for a triangle
 
(...) Hi Niels, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the rotation vector of a triangle? There isn't really one as a triangle is defined by three points (9 components) whereas a rotation matrix/vector is defined by only 1 point (3 components). A (...) (19 years ago, 27-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Finding a rotation matrix for a triangle
 
Uhm, it's the rotation VECTOR I need... The rotation matrix would just screw up the dimensions of the primitive. So does anyone have a program or formula that can give me the rotation vector of a triangle? -NB (19 years ago, 27-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: New Part: 712p01.dat - Wing 4 x 8 Curved Left with Red Edge
