Geometry by Cross Sections

Definition by cross-sections

The volume is defined as a prism between 2 cross-sections placed respectively at t = 0 and at t = "Length in t-direction".

The cross-sections (described in the (r,s)-coordinates at t=0 and at t="Length in t-direction") can be chosen from a list of earlier defined cross-sections, or a new cross-section can be made.

The facets formed by the two cross-sections must be plane. By means of other volumes defined as "voids", as defined below, chamfers (convex or concave) can be described. If the cross-sections are not plane, these can also be chamfered in the same way.

The geometry by cross sections can be copied to a Surface or Edge Model which allows you to customize the model geometry beyond what the cross-sectional model allows.

The positioning of the volume is described in EditVolume.
