Orient to Camera - [source code]
Use this component to generate a plane that is oriented perpendicular to the active Rhino viewport camera direction and centered at an input initPosition point. This is useful for orienting geometry Grasshopper to the Rhino viewport camera, which may help in presenting certain Ladybug visualizations in Rhino. Connect a Grasshopper "Timer" component to the refresh input of this component in order to get a real time update of the oriented plane based on the Rhino viewport camera direction. -
Inputs
initPosition [Required]
A point or list of points that will act as the origin9s0 of the plane(s) that will be generated.refresh [Optional]
Connect either a Grasshopper "button" component that will allow you to refresh the plane orientation upon hitting the button or a Grasshopper "Timer" component to see the plane update in real time as you navigate through the Rhino viewport.
Outputs
orientedToCam
A plane (or list of planes) for each _initPosition connected. All planes are oriented perpendicular to the active Rhino viewport camera direction and are centered at initPosition points.
