change center of the coordinates

Georges Thomas · April 16, 2017, 16:42

some one help me to change the center of the coordinates to the center of the disc (picture) and rotate the system arround X axis (Z axis to the deep)

thank you

Hi,

i cant see a picture, so here are just some ideas.

Despite creating a new coordinate system you could also get the coordinates of the disc center, and also get the normal vector of an arc or triangles. Thats in the geometry dock under "measure".

Then get these data from the coordinate cache and do the rotation.

Okay,

simply measure the location of your disk center, then translate your total geometry into the correct directions and do a rotation of 90° around the x-axis.

Or create a new geometry from scratch, take 0/0/0 as origin of a circle (in x-y plane) with the corect diameter.

thank you very much, it works
