    Default Bisecting Plane Adaptive Component

    Hi Guys

    I've trying to get an Adaptive Component to do some of the Maths for me in regard to working out the intersection of two different offset planes.
    I'm sure you guys have come across a building facade where you have a two planes meeting each other at non-orthagional X,Y,Z, angles (see attached image).

    Typically when working out a building facade we work out the centre of steel and the glazing will then be offset from it. When you need to glazing to wrap around a corner of a situation like the attached image it can be a bit tricky to work out.

    Thus I have been trying to create an adaptice component, where we can determine the offset location via a paramter and it will work out the interstion line of the planes. However it seem to be breaking on me.

    I've attached the family. If anyone has any ideas it would be great. I've sure everyone could do with having a tool like this.

    Thanks
    Brian

    Attached is the way i would do it.

    I am hopeing you have found a way to do this by now but it looked like something i could use in the future as well so i just thought i would create and share this.

    it involves a couple nested adaptive compontants. The base adaptive componant i belive i found something similar in Zach Krons Blog so big ups to him.
