Polyhedral Surface: Connect Cross-Sections

3-D FFS > From c-edges > Connect > Connect cross-sections

Use this function to create a polyhedron by connecting the cross-sections of a framework. The active part needs to contain a framework, which you can, for instance, create with the Place cross-section function and the scaling function Same profile.

1. After function selection, specify the wall thickness.
2. If the cross-section is closed you can subsequently determine how the base surface and top surface is to be treated:

Close base surface only

Close top surface only

Close base and top surface

Do not close

A polyhedron with the same profile, but with an enlarged cross-section in the mitre-cut area is created.

In the image above, the cross-section has been placed on the guideline via fitting point specification. The placed cross-sections were then, after specifying the wall thickness, connected to form a polyhedron with open base surface and top surface.

 

Cross-sections with different numbers of points are not allowed here, i.e. the c-edges forming the cross-sections must have the same number of points.
