Plane.SetNormalAndPosition

SetNormalAndPosition(inNormal: Vector3, inPoint: Vector3): void;
void SetNormalAndPosition(Vector3 inNormal, Vector3 inPoint);
def SetNormalAndPosition(inNormal as Vector3, inPoint as Vector3) as void

Parameters

inNormalThe plane's normal vector.
inPointA point that lies on the plane.

Description

Sets a plane using a point that lies within it along with a normal to orient it.

Note that the normal must be a normalised vector.
