Angles: Theta versus Projection

Geomet reports angles for 3D feature relationships such as a cylinder to a plane in either the Theta angle or PCS base plane Projection angles. The Theta angle is an angle smallest angle between the two features. The projection angles represent the angled projected into each of the PCS base planes

An example of the angle between a cylinder and a plane in the two reporting formats might look like:

  1. Angle
  2. Theta 27.0171º

  3. Angle

AX/Y -11.3099º

AY/Z 5.7106º

AZ/X -26.5651º
