Hi, I'm working with planes and I would like to know what is the best way with skspatial library to compute Plane object from normal vector and plane.

Thanks.

Hi @MikiGrit,

I'm not sure what this means. You already have a plane, and you want to compute another plane?

Hi, sorry for the confusing description. I have a vector and a point. And I want to use those to construct skspatial Plane object. Vector represents normal vector for that plane and point should lie on the same plane. And I'm not sure what is the best approach.

I can compute plane equation (i.e. "ax + by + cz - d = 0") but to construct Plane from it one has to check for various boundary conditions and deal with them. So I'm wondering if there is a better way?

Thanks.

Hi @MikiGrit!

You can create the plane as follows:

plane = Plane(point=[0, 0, 0], normal=[0, 0, 23])

you just need to replace the lists with the point and vector that you already have.

For further details, take a look here, thanks.

Oh, thank you @CristianoPizzamiglio! I missed that part in the documentation.
