Jump to top For simplicity let's tell you look on the positive x axis (meaning, if you walk forward, your x position would increase). So x, y, z is position where area starts. dx is how far from x coordinate forward or backward. dy is how far from y coordinate up or down. dz is how far from z coordinate left or right. Here small example on 2 coordinates.

I wish you a pleasant day!

Altho both their meaning is quite similar besides that. Jump to top Permalink Log in or register to post comments
