# Shear

## About this Block

**What it does:** The **Shear** block shears (movement in which parallel internal surfaces slide past one another) an implicit body based on a Plane, Direction, and Factor of Magnitude for Shear.

**Tips:**

* The Shear direction can’t be perpendicular to the Shear Plane.

***

Shear an implicit body in a direction.

### Inputs

| Name      | Type                                                                 | Description                                            |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Body      | [Implicit Body](../../../../block-documentation/types/implicit-body) | Implicit body to shear.                                |
| Plane     | [Plane](../../../../block-documentation/types/plane)                 | Plane to originate the shear operation.                |
| Direction | [Vector](../../../../block-documentation/types/vector)               | Vector to define the direction of the shear operation. |
| Factor    | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar)               | Magnitude of shear per world unit.                     |
