CUTSHAPE

CUTSHAPE defines a cutting shape and is similar to CUTPLANE.

Syntax

CUTSHAPE d
[statement1 statement2 ... statementn]
CUTEND

Parameters

d (decimal): defines the form of the cutting shape

d=0: cutting shape is the XY plane; parts above XY plane are cut off.
d>0: L-shaped cut; parts above XY plane with X £ 0 are cut off.
d<0: U-shaped cut; parts above XY plane with 0 ³ X ³ 0 are cut off.

statement (integer, 0 £ statement £ 3): define behavior of cutting edges and areas

Number of statements and their effects:

0: cutting plane is XY plane
1: cutting plane across X axis, angle between cutting plane and XY plane
2: cutting plane parallel to Z axis, intersects X and Y axis at given values
3: cutting plane intersects X, Y and Z axis at given values
4: side value is added:
side = 0: parts above cutting plane are cut off (default);
side = 1: parts below cutting plane are cut off;
in case of XY, XZ, YZ planes, the parts in the negative direction of the axis are cut off.

Remarks

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