Selecting a line (or a segment) g and a point A creates a straight line through A perpendicular to line (or segment) g (see also PerpendicularLine command).
Note: The line’s direction is equivalent to the perpendicular vector of g (see also PerpendicularVector command).
Note: This tool works with 3D objects as well.
