Drawing aids for polygonizing elements

Number of segments / Rise

Kreisteilung

Der Polygonisierungswert wird als Kreisteilung interpretiert. Über den Wert bei Kreisteilung legen Sie fest, mit welcher Aufteilung ein Kurvenelement dargestellt wird. Der Wert 120 bedeutet beispielsweise bei einem Kreis, dass der Vollkreis als Fläche dargestellt wird, die aus einem fiktiven 120-Eck entsteht. Je größer die Genauigkeit sein soll oder je größer der Radius ist, desto höher sollte die Kreisteilung sein. Zulässige Eingaben liegen zwischen 36 und 360.

(A) Kreisteilung =36; das ergibt einen Winkel = 10°

Rise

The polygonization value is interpreted as the rise. The value you enter for Rise defines the maximum rise of the secant relative to the arc (in mm). As a result, the curve is polygonized so that the maximum offset of the polyline's segment to the curve is less than or equal to the value your specified. This setting produces more accurate results than the number of segments.

(B) Rise (38mm or less)

Polygonizing existing elements

Polygonize elements on/off

When the check box is not selected, elements are ignored when you click them; only points are detected.

When the check box is selected, the elements you click are polygonized. You can use the options next to this check box to specify the type of polygonization.

Polygonize entire element

This uses the entire element that you clicked. The starting point defines the direction of polygonization. If the last point in the polyline coincides with the start or end point of the element, the direction does not need to be specified.
Use this option when the outline consists of entire elements.

Define area of element to polygonize

With this option, the program prompts you for the area with every element you click (from point, to point).
Use this option when the outline consists of segments.

Enter reference point

With this option, the program prompts you for the reference point with every element you click. This option uses a point on the element you clicked with a defined offset to the reference point. Click to define a new reference point and then enter the offset to the reference point.
Use this option when you want to specify the outline based on existing elements (when you enter a dormer, for example).

Area detection using additional point

This combines areas bounded by lines and polylines to form a polygon. The inner or outer boundaries are used depending on whether the temporary point is inside or outside the outline.
