angledLineThatIntersectsFunction in std::sketch

Draw an angled line from the current origin, constructing a line segment such that the newly created line intersects the desired target line segment.

angledLineThatIntersects(
  @sketch: Sketch,
  angle: number,
  intersectTag: TagIdentifier,
  offset?: number,
  tag?: TagDeclarator,
): Sketch

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
`sketch`	`Sketch`	Which sketch should this path be added to?	Yes
`angle`	`number`	Which angle should the line be drawn at?	Yes
`intersectTag`	`TagIdentifier`	The tag of the line to intersect with	Yes
`offset`	`number`	The offset from the intersecting line. Defaults to 0.	No
`tag`	`TagDeclarator`	Create a new tag which refers to this line	No

Returns

Sketch - A sketch is a collection of paths.

Examples

exampleSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
  |> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
  |> line(endAbsolute = [5, 10])
  |> line(endAbsolute = [-10, 10], tag = $lineToIntersect)
  |> line(endAbsolute = [0, 20])
  |> angledLineThatIntersects(angle = 80, intersectTag = lineToIntersect, offset = 10)
  |> close()

example = extrude(exampleSketch, length = 10)
