Creating GDL Objects

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 16:08:08 GMT

I created a custom brace for a canopy overhang, I would like to rotate it about its x-axis, what parameters do I now need to include?

I would appreciate any feedback.

Before I answer too detailed or not detailed enough.... how much GDL experience do you have?

The answer to the rotation problem is on page 28 of the GDL Reference Manual.

If you want to learn GDL, see the GDL Cookbook:

In 3DScript:

ROTX Angle

where Angle is a number. For instance ROTX 90

Of course it is not that simple.
That command needs to be near the beginning of the script to impose the rotation transformation before the code for the shape is executed.
