GROUP_SWEEP_2

GROUP_SWEEP_2 is a group operation and similar to GROUP_SWEEP. It creates a new group by sweeping the existing one along a directional vector. The covered area is added to the resulting group's volume.

Syntax

GROUP_SWEEP_2 (g_expr, x, y, z)

Parameters

g_expr (string): group name or variable or result of group operation

x, y, z (real): directional vector for sweeping

Remarks

The difference between GROUP_SWEEP and GROUP_SWEEP_2 is how transformations affect the directional vector:
With GROUP_SWEEP, the directional vector for the sweeping refers to the local coordinate system of the transformed group.
With GROUP_SWEEP_2, the transformation is applied to the local origin of the object (not the project origin).

Only for solid models.

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