Topic: Civil 3d View Frame (or rectangular polyline)

How can I get the angle of a rectangular polyline along the longer line?

[nobody]

Nevermind peeps...just use Math.Max(Math.Max(Math.Max))) to get the longer segment.

What are you applying the Math.Max to ??

I don't use Civil3D and I didn't notice a Rectangle Class that has the side lengths as properties.

Was for the line segment with the longer length.  Exploded the polyline down to line segments to get their lengths and used the example here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6800838/in-c-sharp-is-there-a-method-to-find-the-max-of-3-numbers

The longer line I used as my objectId to get the angle I wanted

I cycle through the points finding the longest length, then use the angle property of the vector of those 2 pts. Gets a little trickier w/ 3d

ha...ya... I was being pretty lazy.

Line.Angle lol

Some people would check if it is actually a rectangle :
4 sides,
4 corners, diagonals equal ....


sidetrack :
does the Line.Angle return the angle relative to WCS UCS ECS DCS PSDCS ??

good point... I'm not considering anything in regards to wcs/ucs, etc... I'll need to verify it wont mess anything up. Thanks!
