Convert2DCoordinate Method

Description

Converts a 2-D point from the profile plane to a 3-D position.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub Convert2DCoordinate( _ ByVal x2d As Double, _ ByVal y2d As Double, _ ByRef x3d As Double, _ ByRef y3d As Double, _ ByRef z3d As Double _ )

Parameters

x2d: Specifies the x coordinate of the 2-D point to be converted.
y2d: Specifies the y coordinate of the 2-D point to be converted.
x3d: Returns the x coordinate of the 3-D point.
y3d: Returns the y coordinate of the 3-D point.
z3d: Returns the z coordinate of the 3-D point.
