Parameters

X

X component of the direction vector

Y

Y component of the direction vector

Z

Z component of the direction vector

Outx

Extreme point X coordinate

Outy

Extreme point Y coordinate

Outz

Extreme point Z coordinate

Return Value

This method returns the furthest possible point of intersection between a plane normal to the direction vector specified and the model as the plane moves along the direction vector. For example, if the model is a right cube centered on the origin and the direction vector is (1.0, 1.0, 1.0), then the extreme point is the vertex at (1.0,
1.0, 1.0).

If there is more than one point (for example, if there is a face perpendicular to the direction vector), SOLIDWORKS returns a unique point that it finds in a deterministic way.
