Description

Create an instance of the material Property Orientation. This command is only used in data files. Data files containing Properties are created by the Materials, Microstructure, Skeleton and Mesh commands in the OOF.File.Save menu.

The name argument should be set to the name of a named Property or to an empty string ('') when setting parameters in an unnamed Property.

The Orientation Property defines how the crystalline axes of a Material are aligned with respect to OOF2's lab (screen) coordinates. In the OOF2 coordinate system, x is to the right, y is up, and z points out of the screen.[19]


[19] Assuming a canonical orientation of the computer screen. If you're lying in bed with your laptop dangling from your knees, adjust the coordinates accordingly.
