Orienting extruded forms

“

- [Narrator] Last video, we looked at setting up some components to extrude our two-dimensional drawing into a 3D, closed solid form. I'm continuing it right where I left off, so what I'd like to do here is, to take my 3D extrusion and flip its orientation and move it away from my two-dimensional drawing. So right now this is right one top of my two-dimensional drawing, you can't even see it right now as a matter of fact and if we were to turn on some of those dimensions we set up in earlier videos, it would be really hard to see, so it's just not working where it's oriented right now. So let's go into Grasshopper, let's pull in an orient component, that's going to take as its input a base geometry, a source plane, and a target plane, so the base geometry is going to come out of that cap component and we can disable preview on the cap for now. The source plane is going to be the plane that we set all the way back in our shelf parameter so let's grab that. And the target plane is going…
