Angle tip

[scissorhands]

Hello.
Some of You Folks had a problem with angled dimensions where 90, 180, 270 angle made some errors.
I replaced angle by X/Y coordinate

90, 180, 270, 360 angle will not harm You ever
Cheers!

I jumped in hastily, suspicious this wouldn't work with minus angle values... so just built my own.... and lo it works - so snark retracted!


mind; it does (or can) break when the trig.'d controllers (my ox and oy) are forced into minus... so you might want to make offset a factor of Length

I work as a Revit family creator and everytime I had family where was some kind of rotation I wondered how to handle it, and some time ago I found solution for this problem
Cheers!
Edit: I saw Your previous post. you can put any value That's why I used offset to solve negatives

Dammit, too quick to quip and not quick enough to edit!

Yep, You're right It can be modified whatever You like, I just post how to prevent that errors by replacing angles to X/Y coordinates.
I use variations of this solution depends on what I need to have

Next thing you know you're gonna be looking into quaternions!

For what purpose? So far I haven't have such a thing to make

[Dave Jones]

quaternions!

I had to Google that one

English is not my native language, I had to Google it too.
