Description
Extends surfaces to meet other surfaces.
Inputs
- source_mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the surfaces to extend. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- target_mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the surfaces to target (destination surfaces). Valid values are 1 and 2.
- extend_mode
- The mode for extending the surfaces. Valid values are:
- 1 - By distance.
- 2 - By thickness ratio.
- 3 - Over edges to target surface.
- 4 - Over edges by distance.
- trim_mode
- The mode for trimming the surfaces. Valid values are:
- 0 - Do not trim the result.
- 1 - Trim the result.
- distance
- The extend distance, if extend_mode = 1.
- min_angle_to_target_surf
- The minimum angle between surfaces that will be considered for extension.
- max_angle_edge_to_surf
- The maximum angle between an edge and a surface that will be considered for extension.
- lines_to_extend_over
- The ID of the mark containing the edges over which the extension can occur. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- guide_mode
- The mode for using guide edges. Valid values are:
- 0 - Do not use guide edges.
- 1 - Use guide edges.
- ignore_guide_edges
- The ID of the mark containing the edges to ignore as guide edges. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- guide_angle
- The minimum angle to use for determining if an edge is a guide edge.
- advanced_options
- The advanced option settings for surface extension. Bit values are used and the value
is calculated as (Bit0 + 2*Bit1 + 4*Bit2 + 8*Bit3 + 16*Bit4 + 32*Bit5).
- Bit0
- 0 - Do not allow shortening.
- Bit1
- 0 - Do not allow inter-component extensions.
- Bit2
- 0 - Place result in original components.
- Bit3
- 0 - If Bit4=1, place the extended surfaces in the component defined by Bit2.
- Bit4
- 0 - Extensions are created using original surfaces.
- Bit5
- 0 - Create a new surface for each edge of the original surface.
- reserved
- Reserved for future use. Must be set to 0.
