In-Sight L38 Tilt and Tilt Direction Definition

04/13/2025

Details

As shown in [Fig. 1] and [Fig. 2], the inclination is an angle that represents how many degrees the normal vector of the target surface (light blue surface) is tilted with respect to the Z axis, and the value that can be input is 0 ~ 180 degrees. (Definition: Tilt angle from Z axis)


And when the normal vector of the inclined surface is projected on the XY plane, the value representing how many degrees the projected vector rotates from the X axis is the inclination direction. (Definition: Direction of inclination around the Z axis from the X axis)

 

The following shows the state of the reference plane when the value of Rectangle3D of the ExtractCrossSection3D tool is changed for reference.
In [Fig. 3] the tilt direction is fixed at -90 degrees, and the tilt value is changed  90→  45 → 0 degrees.

Tilt: 90 degrees / Tilt direction: -90 degrees

Tilt: 45 degrees  / Tilt direction: -90 degrees

Tilt: 0 degrees  / Tilt direction: -90 degrees

                                                                            [Fig. 3]

In FIG. 4, the Tilt is set to 90 degrees, and the Tilt direction is changed from -90  to 0 degrees  in FIG. 3.
