MESH_P

MESH_P generates a free-form surface based on a coon's patch with a plinth; materials can be defined for the top-, bottom- and side surfaces.

Syntax

MESH_P top_material, bottom_material, side_material, n, m, mask, h, x1, y1, z1, s1, ... , xn, yn, zn, sn, xn+1, yn+1, zn+1, sn+1, ... , xn+m, yn+m, zn+m, sn+m

Parameters

top_material, bottom_material, side_material (integer resp. string): index or name of the top, bottom and side material

n (integer): number of nodes in the polygon

m (integer): number of nodes on the ridges

h (decimal): base height (can be negative)

xi, yi, zi (decimal): X, Y and Z coordinates of the node

si (boolean): controls the appearance of the line segment; if si = 0 the line segment starting from xi, yi, zi will not be drawn, if si = 1 this line segment will be drawn; with si = -1 holes are defined directly

parameter restrictions: n ³ 3, m ³ 0

Masking

mask = j1 + 4*j3

with j1 and j3 may be 0 or 1
j1 (1): bottom surface is present
j3 (4): side surfaces are present

Remarks

Usable since script version 1.1 (Allplan 2012-1).
