    The document defines local coordinate systems for beams oriented in different directions in a global coordinate system. It specifies that the local X axis is always defined by the vector from the start point to the end point of the beam divided by the beam length. The local Y axis is always [0,0,1]. For horizontal beams, the local Z axis is [0,1,0] if local X is positive and [0,-1,0] if local X is negative.

    Beam along x Direction (local x in positive)

    Beam along Y direction

    Local Axis X = (endpt-startpt)/length

    Local Axis Y = always [0,0,1]

    Local Z = horizontal beam [0,-1,0] vertical beam [1,0,0]


    Beam along x Direction (local x in negative)

    Vertical beam in global Y(negative local X)

    Local Axis X = (endpt-startpt)/length

    Local Axis Y = always [0,0,1]

    Local Z = horizontal beam [0,1,0] vertical beam [-1,0,0]


    Slanting beam on xy plane

    Local Axis X = (endpt-startpt)/length

    Local Axis Y = always [0,0,1]

    Local Z = [0.707,-0.707,0]

    If local x negative

    Local z=[-0.707,0.707,0]
