Finding point

Submitted by JokerMartini on Wed, 2016-03-16 07:14

How can I find the two points marked in the image by the green dots?
I know all the other points marked by crosses in the image.

Here is the test code for the scene. I'm a bit stumped on how to go about solving for these position points.

Thanks

it's a bit rudimentary...using brute force, nothing clever about it...I think you know MCG John, so if you want to have a gander...just throw a Book in my Face....
