< Previous: Line: Perpendicular Through Point | Next: Point: Midpoint >

A line through a point, parallel to another line's direction.

Menu: Construct > Line: Parallel | Node: Parallel | In depth: Lines, rays & segments

Pick the reference line, then the point. The new line takes only the reference's direction - its position doesn't matter.

The tool stays armed on the same reference line after each one, so you can draw several parallels through different points off the one line in a row without re-picking it. Press Esc to release the reference.

• In the node graph: Parallel - build the same parallel as a node.
