*SetOrientation() - marker pair dual axes orientation

Uses the dual axes method to set the orientation of a marker pair.

Syntax

*SetOrientation(frame, LEFT|RIGHT, 
                                 TWOAXES, 
                                 XY|XZ|YX|YZ|ZX|ZY, 
                                 POINT|VECTOR|DXDYDZ, 
                                 point_1|vector_1|xyz_1, 
                                 POINT|VECTOR|DXDYDZ, 
                                 point_2|vector_2|xyz_2)

Arguments

frame: The variable name of an existing marker pair.; Data type: Marker
LEFT RIGHT: See Comments.; Data type: Keyword
TWOAXES: This argument specifies the two-axis method of orienting a marker.; Data type: Keyword
XY XZ YX YZ ZX ZY: This argument specifies one of the six axes pairs used to specify the two-axis method. The orientation is determined by specifying a vector that is parallel to the X, Y or Z axis of the frame and another vector that lies on the XY, XZ, YX, YZ, ZX or ZY plane of the marker.; Data type: Keyword
POINT|VECTOR|DXDYDZ: Keyword that indicates the alignment method for the axis. POINT suggests that the next argument in this statement is expected to be a point variable. If VECTOR is specified as the keyword, the next argument is expected to be resolved to a vector variable. DXDYDZ suggests the next set of arguments specified are direction cosines.; Data type: Keyword
point_1 vector_1 xyz_1: A point or point pair on the specified axis, a vector or vector pair along the specified axis, or the X, Y, and Z components of a vector along the specified axis.; Data type: Point, PointPair, Vector, VectorPair, or three reals
point_2 vector_2 xyz_2: A point, point pair, vector, vector pair, or the X, Y, and Z components of a vector in the specified plane.; Data type: Point, PointPair, Vector, VectorPair, or three reals

Context

Comments

LEFT: the left marker is oriented as specified and the right marker orientation is made symmetric to the left marker.
RIGHT: The right marker is oriented as specified and the left marker orientation is made symmetric to the right marker.
No Value Specified: The marker pair is asymmetric; attributes are assigned to the left and right markers individually.

This statement is used to define the orientation of a bushing defined by *BushPair().
