A vector is a line segment with an arrow tip on one end illustrating a direction. A vector’s origin is at the center of its parent object and the vector’s arrow tip points in the direction to be illustrated. A vector’s length, color, and other attributes are picked automatically to achieve visual appeal. Any vector can be right-clicked to open a context menu with functions specific to that vector.
