Description

3D property; returns the magnitude of a vector. The value is a floating-point number. The magnitude is the length of a vector and is always greater than or equal to0.0. (vector (0, 0, 0) equals 0.)

Example

This statement shows that the magnitude of MyVec1 is 100.0000 and the magnitude of MyVec2 is 141.4214.

MyVec1 = vector(100, 0, 0)
put MyVec1.magnitude
