Angle About Z (AZ)
Returns the rotational displacement (in radians) of one coordinate system marker about the z-axis of another.
Format
AZ (To Marker, From Marker)
Arguments
To Marker | (Required) The coordinate system marker whose rotation is being measured. |
From Marker | (Optional) The coordinate system marker with respect to which the rotation is being measured. If not specified, this argument defaults to the global coordinate system. |
Equation
Mathematically, AZ is calculated as follows:
where:
■
is the x-axis of To Marker.
is the x-axis of To Marker. ■
is the x-axis of From Marker.
is the x-axis of From Marker. ■
is the y-axis of From Marker.
is the y-axis of From Marker. Example
The following function returns the angle between the x-axes of marker_T and marker_F:
Function | AZ(marker_T, marker_F) |
Result | 0.6109 or  /5.1428 |
