# polysections
|
|
|
|
Crosscutting a tube-like shape at different points gets several cross-sections. This module can operate reversely. It uses cross-sections to construct a tube-like shape. For example, imagine that you have the following cross-sections:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module can use them to construct the following model:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Looks like extruding along the path? Yes, it can perform the task; however, it's more flexible.
|
|
|
|
You can also view it as a better polyline3d module if you want. If you have only the points of a path, using `polyline3d` or `hull_polyline3d` is a simple solution. If you know the cross sections along a path, you can use `polysections` to do more.
|
|
|
|
When using this module, you should use points to represent each cross section. The points of your cross section should have count-clockwise indexes. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your cross section is hollow, set the `triangles` parameter to `"HOLLOW"` and index the points as the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can cut triangles by yourself. For example, the above shape can be cut into triangles such as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The indexes of the above triangles is:
|
|
|
|
[
|
|
[0, 3, 1],
|
|
[1, 3, 4],
|
|
[1, 4, 2],
|
|
[2, 4, 5],
|
|
[2, 5, 0],
|
|
[0, 5, 3]
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
When defining triangles, you can use clockwise or counter-clockwise indexes.
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `sections` : A list of cross-sections. Each cross-section is represented by a list of points. See the example below.
|
|
- `triangles` : `"SOLID"` (default), `"HOLLOW"`, or user-defined indexes. See example below.
