sectionArcWithIntermediateNormal Method

Deprecated  Prefer sectionArcInPlaneOfInterpolatedNormal, which has expanded return type.

Create a section arc with start and end at positions A and B, and in plane with the normal at a fractional interpolation between.

sectionArcWithIntermediateNormal(angleA: LongitudeLatitudeNumber, intermediateNormalFraction: number, angleB: LongitudeLatitudeNumber): Arc3d

@returns arc in the plane defined by the normal at the intermediate point. If calculation fails, return an arc with zero matrix.

Parameter Type Description
angleA LongitudeLatitudeNumber start point of arc (given as angles on this ellipsoid)
intermediateNormalFraction number fraction at which to interpolate normals at A and B to define arc plane
angleB LongitudeLatitudeNumber end point of arc (given as angles on this ellipsoid)

Returns - Arc3d

arc in the plane defined by the normal at the intermediate point. If calculation fails, return an arc with zero matrix.
