    Locating Points in 3D Space Based on Given Parameters

    Yes I mean the ray AB and AC and the smaller angle that is made. The torsion angle can be thought of as the angle around line BC that maps line AB on to CD. In other words, the angle between the planes defined by points A,B,C and the plane defined by points B,C and D. Thanks.

    Locating Points in 3D Space Based on Given Parameters

    Hi, Let's think about 4 points A,B,C,D. I need to locate the points in 3D Cartesian coordinates provided the following parameters are given about the point: 1] Distance between A and B. 2] Distance between B and C 3] The angle between A B and C. 4] The angle between B C and D. 5] The...

    Coordinates of a point in 3D provided connecting points are known

    Hi ,Given 3 points A[x1,y1,z1], B[x2,y2,z2] and C, and given the distance between B and C is known and the angle ABC is supplied. How do we ascertain the coordinates of the point C ? I can calculate the dot product using the angle, by defining vectors BC and AC and then use the distance formula...
