How to

  1. Feed in a point for the starting point

    1. You can use construct vector to create a point from coordinates

  2. Feed in the line direction - as a vector

    1. Use construct vector to define the direction

  3. Feed in the line length

    1. Use any node that outputs a number, such as number or a math node

    2. Or, type the number into the box

  4. The output is a polyline at the defined length and direction, starting from the starting point
