Description

Creates a wireframe link by closing an area defined by a perimeter and its associated boundary/bridge string(s).

How to Use

1. In the Current Objects toolbar, select or create a new current wireframe object.

2. Run the command.

3. Following the prompts in the Status Bar, select the required end perimeter portion.

4. Repeat step 2 for other end perimeter portions.

5. ClickCancel.

6. Link the remaining perimeters or strings using the related link-boundary-to-line, link-boundary or any other relevant string linking commands.

In the example below, the bottom perimeter would be closed in three steps, using the end-link-boundary command, honoring the red boundary strings:

 

If the perimeter contains no bridge strings this command will behave in the same way as the end-link command. More than one bridge string may be connected to the perimeter. A bridge string is a string that has both its first and last points connected to points on one of the two strings which are to be linked. The  boundary/bridge strings must have their end points snapped (point or line) to a perimeter. It is not necessary to select the bridge string, as these are automatically detected during the linking process.  Bridge strings can contain any number of points and be fully three dimensional, but their end points must be connected to points on one of the selected strings. Crossovers of bridge strings should be avoided. The bridge strings themselves are not selected when running this command, they are automatically detected.

 

The links take their color from the first string of each string-pair used for the linking. Various settings can be used to control linking, seeWireframe Linking Settings. Tag strings can be used to control linking, see use-tag-switch.
