LOC_MIRROR

Returns an array of three numbers representing a location in the global coordinate system, which mirrors another location across a plane of a coordinate system object.

Format

LOC_MIRROR (Location, Frame Object, Plane Name)

Arguments

 

Location	Array of numbers that specifies a location expressed in the global coordinate system.
Frame Object	Coordinate system object that defines the plane of reflection.
Plane Name	Character string that specifies one of the three planes in a coordinate system object. xy, yx, xz, zx, yz, and zy (character case is insignificant) are the only possible values. Character order is insignificant; that is, xy is the same as yx.

In the following illustration, the LOC_MIRROR function returns an array of three numbers representing a location:

 

Function	LOC_MIRROR({7,7,0}, marker_1, "xy")
Result	7, 5, 0 (in the global coordinate system)

Note:

In this example, the xy plane of coordinate system object, marker_1, is parallel to the global xz plane.
