XYZ Values changing when extracted - Grasshopper

Circle Grass.gh (31.0 KB)

I was separating a point into X Y and Z, when I noted that the resulting data was different than the original.

Why is that?
and how do I fix it?

hello
never use a panel like this except if it is text.
Second thing Unit X and the others waits for a number so here you input a vector, here the conversion is the vector length.
You’ll have to use deconstruct or multiply a vector by another unit vector (X, Y or Z)

Alright, I understood what I was doing wrong, using “Unit X/Y/Z” for the job that needed “Deconstruct”

I didn’t quite understood what “Unit (Thing)” does, exactly…

What I got is that it creates a line through the points and gives you the lenght? Is that right?

Thank you for the help.

Unit thing is just a vector along one of the 3 Cartesian axis. It is very useful in many case. But you can replace it also with a Construct Point or Vector XYZ

I see, I would assume it would be usefull in things like Revolve, then. Thank you for the information.

also useful in Line SDL, Circle CNR …
