Public Function CreateSectionCurve (
plane As Plane,
absoluteTolerance As Double,
maxDistance As Double,
minDistance As Double,
openCurves As Boolean,
createSpline As Boolean,
createPolyline As Boolean,
fitTolerance As Double
) As Curve()
Parameters
- plane
- Type: Rhino.GeometryPlane
The plane to intersect with - absoluteTolerance
- Type: SystemDouble
The document's model absolute tolerance - maxDistance
- Type: SystemDouble
Maximum distance to plane. The thickness of the "slab" around the plane from which sample points are taken.
Those sample points are projected to the section plane and a polyline is found that connects them.
This distance depends on the size of the point cloud and the spacing of the points.
- minDistance
- Type: SystemDouble
Minimum distance between points. A threshold for the minimum spacing between adjacent sample points.
If there are points closer than that, some are not used.
- openCurves
- Type: SystemBoolean
True for open, false for closed. - createSpline
- Type: SystemBoolean
Creates a smooth curve. You can create both a curve and a polyline. - createPolyline
- Type: SystemBoolean
Creates a polyline. You can create both a curve and a polyline. - fitTolerance
- Type: SystemDouble
The tolerance used to fit the curve through the polyline.
Return Value
Type:
CurveThe intersection curves if successful, an empty array if unsuccessful.
