[Bf-committers] Re: [Bf-blender-cvs] CVS commit: blender/source/blender/python/api2_2x Mathutils.c

Hi Ken,
 Oh I see, you're not confused over the math, you're asking why the dot
product isn't in the range you expected. I tried your code in Blender
2.37aand it returned the expected result of 135. I would try it both
in the CVS
build and 2.37a. If it works in one and not the other then you've probably
found a bug.
