Placing points from a known origin to (x,y,z) locations using HV angles

Okay, I have a basic question and I think it's simple but I've not found the solution yet. I basically have 25 points that all originate from the same location (ex. 0,0,62) and extend out, each at separate H,V angles. What is the quickest way to compute this so all points are displaced at the destination point(s)?

Much thanks,

Joel

There's a Point Polar Component in the Vector Tab > Point Panel.

This combined with the addition component should add the two points together like vectors.

Does this help?

Thanks for the response. I actually went about this a little differently. To simplify, I just created a vector/line and multiplied by 25 to generate each individual vector. From there I chose the Rotate3D from the transform tab and plugged each H,V into that component. Seemed to work well for what I needed.

Thanks!
