Cartesian coordinates ( Rectangular) x,y,z
From starting point (datum, usually 0,0,0) , locate point using
x and y (2D) and x,y and z (3D) dimensions
Example:
Location : 20,65,100
From start point : 20 right and horizontal (x), turn left 90 degrees go 65 (y)
Turn normal and up from 2D plane go 100.
