We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

No, it means that Direction-1 is aligned to the x-axis. It's more for when you have a more complex geometry and a zone axis isn't aligned with x, y or z. In that scenario rather than trying to work out the resistance at an angle to the zone you can work out the Direction vectors instead.Â
