Angle between 2 normal vector

[setdesigner]

Is there a way to get the angle between the ground plane and the normal vector of a nurbs surface ? With Marionette or report ?

Use the Analysis Tool in the second mode to generate a Normal Curve for each Plane. Then connect the two resultant curves and use the angle dimension tool.

 

I think that the angle you are looking for is currently 49.61°

Thanks that works !

Tried the same and gave me 40,39º, sure I did something wrong. 😄

From the normal line I drew another vertical line and made an angle dimension, in 3d view

I think

40.39° is correct for normal to ground plane - ie to plan projection of the normal. 

49.61° is correct for normal to normal (parallel to z axis).

 

Also, that marionette network crashes my vwx if I name the normal and run the marionette:

•Create normal to inclined surface via Analysis Tool

•Name the object via OIP>Name field>key in Test1

•Marionette Name node> Name field> key in Test1

•Run

Yes the marionette network was an attempt to make it work for multiple nurbs surface but it is not working.

Thanks to everybody.
