EXTRUSION - v14extrusion <filename>, <p_range>, dir=<vector>, len=<len_value>,ang=<ang_value>, <svar> {,s=on|off} {,r} {,B=ON|OFF}
Function
Perform a regular extrusion.
Parameters
|
<object_filename> |
Is the output file name |
|
|
|
|
<p_range> |
Defines the control face |
|
|
|
|
dir=<vector> |
Define the normal vector to apply to the control face for the extrusion |
|
len=<len_value> |
Define the extrusion length. |
|
ang=<ang_value> |
Define the conicity angle in degrees (0 means no conicity). |
|
<svar> |
Defines the silhouettes for the extrusion. A value of '0' means that the corresponding edge 'could be shown', depending on the point of view; a value of '1' means that the corresponding edge is 'always shown', regardless of the point of view. |
|
s=on|off |
If Self-Intersection check is required (S=ON) or not (S=OFF). The default is S=OFF. |
|
r |
Load the result in the STACK. |

extrusion <object_filename>, IDFACE=<id>, dir=<vector>, len=<len_value>, ang=<ang_value> {,s=on|off} {,r}
Parameters
|
<object_filename> |
Is the output file name. |
|
IDFACE=<id> |
Unique id of the PROFILE. |
|
dir=<vector> |
Define the normal vector to apply to the control face for the extrusion. |
|
len=<len_value> |
Define the extrusion length. |
|
ang=<ang_value> |
Define the conicity angle in degrees (0 means no conicity). |
|
S=on|off |

|
r |
Load result in the workspace. |
In the second case the string of silhouettes for the faces are described element by element in the data files. Each line of the files of description has the following record structure:
. '0' or '1'
. X_coordinates
. Y_coordinates
. Z_coordinates
Example :
'1 10.5 20 0.5'
Examples
point DIRECTION,P1\3
numeric FACE_ID,LENGTH,ANGLE

Notes
The resulting object is a new entity called Body.
Any number of control points can define the control face.
extrusion ENTITY=<id1>, <p_range>
Parameters
|
ENTITY=<id1> |
Unique id of the Curve that needs to be extruded |
|
|
|
|
<p_range> |
Defines the control face |
Examples
NUMERIC CurveID
POINT P1\2
# Defines the entity to be extruded
move p0
arc c=e50,a=90
last
convert
CurveID=inf(28)
nib 2
# Defines the extrusion vector
p1 = p0
p2 = p0&u100
# Makes the extrusion
pen 6
Extrusion entity=CurveID,P1\2
Fit
Notes
Note that this last syntax for the EXTRUSION command can be used only when the "ex" feature is available in the license file.
The entity that must be extruded must be a Curve entity.
The resulting object is a new Surface entity.
