*SetPoint() - symmetric point pair

Sets the coordinates for a symmetric point pair.

Syntax

*SetPoint(point_name, LEFT|RIGHT, x, y, z)

Arguments

point_name
The variable name of an existing point pair.
Data type: varname
LEFT RIGHT
If LEFT is specified, the coordinates are assigned to the left point, and the right point coordinates are made symmetric to the left point.
If RIGHT is specified, the coordinates are assigned to the right point, and the left point coordinates are made symmetric to the right point.
x, y, z
The X, Y, and Z coordinates of the point specified by the LEFT or RIGHT value.
Data type: real

Example

*PointPair(p_shk_upr_bush_ax, "Shk upr bush ax")
*PointPair(p_shk_lwr_bush_ax, "Shk lwr bush ax")
*SetPoint(p_shk_upr_bush_ax, LEFT, 
 
p_shk_upr_bush.l.x + 100, 
p_shk_upr_bush.l.y, 
p_shk_upr_bush.l.z)
*SetPoint(p_shk_lwr_bush_ax, LEFT, 
p_shk_lwr_bush.l.x + 100, 
 
 p_shk_lwr_bush.l.y, 
 
 p_shk_lwr_bush.l.z)

Comments

The symmetry is applied about the global XZ plane only.
