3D ellipse with Vectrosity

Questions & Answers

Hi, I’m trying to connect two 3D objects with a 3D ellipse using Vectrosity. I managed to get the correct size and position, but cannot find a way to orient the ellipse in the right way. This is the code I’m using:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Vectrosity;


public class TestCircle : MonoBehaviour 
{
	public Transform obj1, obj2;
	private Vector3 origin;
	public float xRadius = 0;
	public float yRadius = 0;
	public int segments = 60;
	public float width = 5.0f;
	public float pointRotation = 0.0f;
	
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
		origin = (obj1.position + obj2.position) / 2;
		xRadius = Vector3.Distance(obj1.position, obj2.position) / 2;
		//yRadius = xRadius;
		Vector3[] linePoints = new Vector3[segments+1];
		
		VectorLine circle = new VectorLine("Circle", linePoints, null, width, LineType.Continuous, Joins.Weld);
		circle.MakeEllipse(origin, Vector3.forward, xRadius, yRadius, segments, pointRotation);
		circle.Draw3DAuto();
		
	}
}

This is what I get now:

…and this is what I need:

[6737-schermata+2013-01-15+alle+20.43.14.png|6737]

Is there an easy way to orient the 3D ellipse that way?

Thanks.

You’d want to change the up vector (which currently you have as Vector3.forward).
