I cannot give you the code for whatever program you are using but it seems to me that a translation and a rotation ought to do it. Translate the center of the tube to the midpoint between your 3D points, Then rotate the axis of the tube to coincide with the line between the two points.

Thanks for the reply aburr,<br />
It is this &quot;rotate the axis of the tube to coincide with the line between the two points&quot; that I am not sure how to do. I am using Solidworks and looking at the API I would need to just plug in the transformation matrix for that part to be positioned and rotated properly. It is the math that I am not sure how to calculate<br />

I am not familiar with Solidworks or the API so I will not be of much more help to you.

Hello,<br />
Is it possible to calculate the transformation matrix based on two 3d points and if so how? I am trying to place a tube part between these two 3d points and need the transformation matrix to position/place the part properly.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Calculate Transformation Matrix based on two 3D points

Game programming is the software development of video games. Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering as well as specialization in simulation, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, audio programming, and input. Like other software, game development programs are generated from source code to the actual program by a compiler. Source code can be developed with almost any text editor, but most professional game programmers use a full integrated development environment (IDE).

The Math / Science topic primarily includes discussions of mathematics, physics, statistics and economic analysis, but also biology, chemistry and other sciences.
