	fn GenRandomSumValuesArray numParts:4 minVal:0 maxVal:100 =
	(
	local parts = #(minVal,maxVal)

	/* generate an array of random points */
	randomPts = for i = 1 to 3 collect (random [-30,-30,0] [30,30,0])

	/* Requires 3 point3 values */
	fn CalculateOffset offset:8 ptA:undefined ptB:undefined ptC:undefined =
