Using line trajectories

Line trajectory is a path in shape of a straight line in 3D space. You can use trajectories as paths along which objects move in the Trajectory Layout and Trajectory List Box objects. See Using trajectory layouts and Using trajectory list boxes.

Create a line trajectory

To create a line trajectory:

1. In the Library right-click Trajectories and select Create > Line trajectory.
2. In the Properties set the following properties:
   • Length to set the length of the trajectory.
   • Direction to set the position of the trajectory in 3D space. For example:
     • To set the trajectory parallel to the x axis, set X attribute to 1, and Y and Z attributes to 0.
     • To set the trajectory parallel to the y axis, set Y attribute to 1, and X and Z attributes to 0.
     • To set the trajectory diagonally into the I octant, set X, Y, and Z attributes to 1.
   To take the trajectory into use, set the Trajectories property of the object using trajectories to the line trajectory you just created. See Using trajectory list boxes and Using trajectory layouts.
