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?

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 general
matrix could be defined which maps a given triangle to the new triangle but
that
isn't really useful.

What I mean is: In MLCad, you can take a part, and rotate it via a vector command like turn 45 degrees around y axis clockwise. Or more complex rotations based on more axes. What I would like to know is: How do I find the rotation vector of a plane (...) (19 years ago, 28-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)
