Collects capping geometry generated by cutting planes. Geometry is deposited into the currently open segment. The capping faces are delivered in the form of shells, and edges are delivered as polylines.
- Parameters
-
key_count | - The number of keys in the path |
path_keys | - An array of keys, from the target segment up to a driver. Also possible to pass a single segment key |
cut_key | - The key of a single cutting section or plane to collect for. Passing INVALID_KEY will collect for all cutting sections and planes |
options | - A quoted string or a string variable containing a list of the desired options |
- Returns
- The number of shells and lines inserted
DETAILS
Parameter "options" can be of the following:
-
"segment only" - Collect capping geometry only for the target segment, not any of its subsegments. By default, capping geometry is collected from the entire subtree starting at the target segment.
-
"ignore matrix" - When inserting capping geometry, do not accumulate modelling matrices. By default, modelling matrices are considered.
-
"section offset" - Allows specifying of a plane offset into a cutting section. By default, all planes in a cutting section are collected.
-
"refine cuts" - Determines whether capping geometry should be refined by cutting it against all other planes in the scene. By default capping geometry is only cut by the single plane that generated it.
