Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Plane(Plane) | Copy constructor.
|
 | Plane(Point3d, Vector3d) |
Constructs a plane from a point and a normal vector.
|
| Plane(Point3d, Point3d, Point3d) |
Initializes a plane from three non-collinear points.
|
| Plane(Point3d, Vector3d, Vector3d) |

Constructs a plane from an equation
Ax+By+Cz+D=0.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | IsValid |
Gets a value indicating whether or not this is a valid plane.
A plane is considered to be valid when all fields contain reasonable
information and the equation jibes with point and z-axis.
|
| Normal |
Gets the normal of this plane. This is essentially the ZAxis of the plane.
|
| Origin |
Gets or sets the origin point of this plane.
|
| OriginX |
Gets or sets the X coordinate of the origin of this plane.
|
| OriginY |
Gets or sets the Y coordinate of the origin of this plane.
|
| OriginZ |
Gets or sets the Z coordinate of the origin of this plane.
|
 | Unset |
Gets a plane that contains Unset origin and axis vectors.
|
| WorldXY |
plane coincident with the World XY plane.
|
| WorldYZ |
plane coincident with the World YZ plane.
|
| WorldZX |
plane coincident with the World ZX plane.
|
| XAxis |
Gets or sets the X axis vector of this plane.
|
| YAxis |
Gets or sets the Y axis vector of this plane.
|
| ZAxis |
Gets or sets the Z axis vector of this plane.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Clone |
Returns a deep copy of this instance.
|
| ClosestParameter |
Gets the parameters of the point on the plane closest to a test point.
|
| ClosestPoint |
Gets the point on the plane closest to a test point.
|
| CreateFromFrame |
Constructs a plane from a point, and two vectors in the plane.
|
| CreateFromNormal |
Constructs a plane from a point and normal vector.
|
| CreateFromNormalYup |
Construct a plane from a point, a normal vector, and a vector that projects to the positive YAxis.
|
| CreateFromPoints |
Construct a plane from three non-collinear points.
|
| DistanceTo(Point3d) |
Returns the signed distance from testPoint to its projection onto this plane.
If the point is below the plane, a negative distance is returned.
|
| DistanceTo(BoundingBox, Double, Double) |
Returns the signed minimum and maximum distances from bounding box to this plane.
|
| EpsilonEquals |
Check that all values in other are within epsilon of the values in this
|
| Equals(Object) |

(Overrides ValueTypeEquals(Object).) |
| Equals(Plane) |
Determines if another plane has the same components as this plane.
|
| ExtendThroughBox(BoundingBox, Interval, Interval) |
Extends this plane through a bounding box.
|
| ExtendThroughBox(Box, Interval, Interval) |
Extend this plane through a Box.
|
| FitPlaneToPoints(IEnumerablePoint3d, Plane) | Fit a plane through a collection of points. |
| FitPlaneToPoints(IEnumerablePoint3d, Plane, Double) | Fit a plane through a collection of points. |
| Flip |
Flip this plane by swapping out the X and Y axes and inverting the Z axis.
|
