Hi. I'm new here, first post. I hope I do it correctly :)
I'm trying to solve a specific problem, which I need solved for a programming task. Now, my first approach was to iterate a solution which was close enough within some error boundaries I defined. But... it needs to be done correctly, if it can.
So, I have made an illustration of the problem below. I hope it makes sense. And I would be very happy, if a method of directly solving this, exists! And as it seems only one solution is possible, it would make sense to have one formula with the answer.
Just to make sure this is understandable: I have three vectors in 3D space of nonimportant length, extending from origin. These three vectors will be coplanar, and because of this, a fourth vector, hitting them all, is possible. I need this vector to cross the three vectors in a way, which makes the intersection points have equal distances. Is this possible to solve directly, or do I need to iterate a solution? At which distance from origin this intersection takes place, is of no importance!
I normally just LOVE to dig out an answer myself, but this one I have no idea where to begin. I hope someone is capeable of solving this for me...
