use new coordinate system.

What would be an easy approach of doing so?

One imput is a plane (or a list of ones). And I want from some moment in the code for every x to become x1, y -> y1, z -> z1?

You can use Plane CP to map xyz coordinates onto uvw coordinates. Or you can use the Orient component to convert xyz coordinates into x'y'z' coordinates.

Ignore John, he's a dick.

Ah, this is posted in the VB/C# forum, are you looking for a programmatic solution? If so, which language?

It's very similar in VB, you can use Plane.ClosestParameter to get the u and v parameters (or s and t if you want). Then use Plane.Distance to get the w value.

Or you can create a Transform matrix that defines a ChangeBasis transformation.
