Definition

The Distance routine determines the bisecting or symmetry feature between compatible features. When more than one solution can be determined, such as the bisect of two planes, the system will prompt you with both possible solutions which allows you to select one.

Applying Bisector

The bisector routine creates a similar feature from the two features selected. In some cases, the only solution may be a point. A bisector between two planes that are not parallel results in two possible solutions. Planes that are parallel produces one solution. The chart below outlines possible solution between pairs of features.

NOTE: Features must share a common PCS axes to be eligible for the Bisector route. For example, you can use the Bisector routine on 2 -Z 1D Points.
