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