[Closed] How to find the angle betwen two lines

Hello everyone

How to find the angle betwen two lines?

3 Replies

I’ve attached a script which calculates the angle between two lines. Optionally you can supply a plane normal through which the angle should be measured. I hope my comments inside the script are enough to get you on the way.

Cheers,
Martijn

Use the protractor helper if you dont’ know Max script.

This will return the angle between three objects. Select first the center object and then the two ends of the lines. Run this line and it will return the angle.

acos (dot (normalize ($[2].pos-$[1].pos)) (normalize ($[3].pos-$[1].pos)))
