Perpendicular Line Tool

Selecting a line (or a segment) and a point creates a straight line through that point perpendicular to the line (or segment).

Notes:

  • The line’s direction is equivalent to the perpendicular vector of the selected line or segment. (See also PerpendicularVector command).

  • This tool has also a version applicable to 3D objects: Mode orthogonalthreed.svg Select point and perpendicular line or plane.
