Hey... Here's some new equations that should help you find the middle of a rectangle with coord's Xa-d, Ya-d, Za-d... Xe=(Xa+Xc)/2 'Or the 2 coord's on opp corners Ye=(Ya+Yc)/2 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Ze=(Za+Zc)/2 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Xf=(Xb+Xd)/2 Yf=(Yb+Yd)/2 Zf=(Zb+Zd)/2 The 'e' and 'f' coord's SHOULD always be the same, and the midpoint of the plane. To find a point 64 above that, i'm still working on. Dave * SLMR 2.1a * --T-A+G-L-I+N-E--+M-E-A+S-U-R+I-N-G+--G-A+U-G-E-- --- * Origin: The Aliens BBS, Simpsonville SC 8032347195 (1:3639/4)
