Cool, Thanks for the prompt responses, I've never had an answer as quickly in any forum. Cheers

Thanks very much, that should be very useful. Incidentally, is that derived from the intersection of a sphere and plane re: arunbg? (so i can have a go at understanding it myself ;-) )

This isn't for a formal maths question*, so I don't have any specifc boundaries. I think ideally I'd like to have parametric description of the curve in terms of one parameter, with these input constants: the centre of the circle, the perpendicular vector and the radius. *I want to...

And how do I do that? Bearing in mind that in the problem I want to have the circle at a funny angle.

Hi, I've been trying to deduce the general equation of a circle in 3D space, but without much luck. Well, I'll jump in with what I've got so far. P = (X_{P},Y_{P},Z_{P}) = \mbox{General point on diameter of circle circle.} C = (X_{C},Y_{C},Z_{C}) = \mbox{Centre of the circle.}...
