You can define a Plane with 2 (Plane Normal) and 3 Points (Plane 3Pt) and then use the Orient component.

Hi

Thank you for the tip. However Hyungsoo's plugin would probably be more concise especially since I need to scale the object depending on the relative lengths of the ref and target points.

Regards
William

You can try my custom component if you want.

Put these into your User object folder and they'll appeal in the transform tab(Euclidean sub tab).

Enjoy..^^

Hi Hyungsoo

Thanks for this. Will try it tomorrow when I get back to work. Always wished I could write my own custom components. Presumably you need to write in C.

Regards
William

Hi! William.

They were not written in C#. They had been generated by only using GH's basic component.

You can make cluster component like mine easily without C# or python coding.

Hi Hyungsoo, 

Thanks for posting these clusters. I'm sure theyre gonna be super helpful. The orient 2pt seems to be password protected, though. Is there any chance you could send me the password to take a better look at the cluster? my email is mike.m.tingen (at) Gmail 

Thanks again!

I am new to grasshopper. I used the Orient 2 with success.  I tried using Orient 3 and I have not been able to understand what I am doing wrong. Im attaching the file.

Correction,

Reference 1 (R1) goes to Target 1 (T1) as i would expect.

Reference 2 (R2) and Target 2 (T2) dont do what i expect (T2 should connect at the point)

Reference 3 (R3) and Target 3 (T3) dont do what i expect, same as above.

I am new, I am sure i did something wrong. thanks for the help.
