RotatePlane - works for radians, but not degrees

[rbeson]

Hi Steve,

Not sure if this is intended or not. This works as expected:
rs.RotatePlane(thisCPlane, (math.pi/4), thisCPlane.Xaxis)

but this doesn't:
rs.RotatePlane(thisCPlane, 45, thisCPlane.Xaxis)

Python Code:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import math
 
thisView = rs.CurrentView()                                     
thisCPlane = rs.ViewCPlane(thisView, None)
thisCPlaneName = 'TempCPlane'
rs.AddNamedCPlane(thisCPlaneName, thisView)
 
rs.RotatePlane(thisCPlane, 45, thisCPlane.Xaxis)
rs.ViewCPlane( thisView, thisCPlane )
 
circle_1 = rs.AddCircle(thisCPlane, 18)
object = rs.AddSphere(thisCPlane, 20)
 
bbox_world = rs.BoundingBox(object, thisView, True)
box_world = rs.AddBox (bbox_world)
 
bbox_cplane = rs.BoundingBox(object, thisView, False)
box_cplane = rs.AddBox (bbox_cplane)
 
rs.RestoreNamedCPlane ( thisCPlaneName, thisView )
rs.DeleteNamedCPlane ( thisCPlaneName )

Hi Steve,

Also, there still seems to be a bug in making a BoundingBox with construction plane coordinates. Have a look at the following code. You might need to test it on an object that doesn't fit in a cube to see what I mean.

It could be syntactical on my part, or something to do with the way python is referencing objects... but it seems to be making a bounding box based on world coordinates then remapping it to the cplane?

Thanks for checking it out,
Rob

Python Code:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import math
 
object = rs.GetObject('choose a object to test')
 
thisView = rs.CurrentView()
thisCPlane = rs.ViewCPlane(thisView, None)
thisCPlaneName = 'TempCPlane'
rs.AddNamedCPlane(thisCPlaneName, thisView)                     
 
rs.RotatePlane(thisCPlane, (math.pi/4), thisCPlane.Xaxis)
rs.ViewCPlane( thisView, thisCPlane )                         
 
bbox_cplane = rs.BoundingBox(object, thisView, False)           
box_cplane = rs.AddBox (bbox_cplane)
 
rs.RestoreNamedCPlane ( thisCPlaneName, thisView )
rs.DeleteNamedCPlane ( thisCPlaneName )

Hi Rob,
You're right, the function should be working with angles in degrees. I just posted a fix at
http://code.google.com/p/rhinopython...cript/plane.py

Thanks,

Hi Rob,
I see the problem. Unfortunately this fix will have to wait until the next WIP because I had to make some changes to the RhinoCommon SDK compiled code.
Thanks,

Great - thanks for checking it out and look forward to the update.
Cheers,
