Description
Constructs a Line segment of given input Length which bisects the Angle formed by the right side of the three input points. The From Point of the new Line is the Through input point. If the right side angle is smaller, the constructed Line will always bisect this angle, regardless of the value of bUseSmallerAngle. However, if the right side angle is larger, and bUseSmallerAngle is TRUE, then the constructed line will bisect the smaller angle (left side) instead of the right side reflex angle.
