I was hoping someone could help me out with some vector math
Say I had 3 3D points, A, B, C, which form a plane called ABC. I would like to move point B by 10 units, along a vector that is perpendicular to the vector AC, and sits on the plane ABC.
How do I calculate the vector that is perpendicular to AC, and sits on the plane ABC?
Vector you need to find is b Question gives us two conditions that it lies in plane ABC and is perpendicular to AC Let's assume that equation of ABC is $ax+by+cz=d$
So that vector should satisfy this equations
$(a,b,c) \cdot b = 0$
$b \cdot AC = 0$
Or you can just take cross product of AC and normal vector of plane ABC
$(a,b,c)*AC$
