Description
Links strings to form a solid wireframe.
The linking order is determined by the proximity of the center-points of each string.
If duplicate strings exist within the selection, these will be ignored, and the command window will report that a link has not been created.
How to Use
-
In the Current Objects toolbar, select or create a new current wireframe object.
-
Run the command. At least two strings must be selected.
-
You will be asked to select a sting to start the linking sequence then a dialog will prompt for the number of strings to be grouped.
-
A dialog will prompt for the number of strings to be grouped together (must be more than 1) - click OK.

Using this command in conjunction with the 3D Solid linking method. If you have strings on adjacent sections that are to be linked together, and those strings cross each other when viewed in the direction of wireframing, then temporary vertices are inserted into the string and these temporary vertices are used when the wireframe is created. Since pairs of strings are wireframed at a time it is possible for these temporary vertices to be created for one pair of strings and not the other. In this situation a wireframe may be built which contains inconsistencies. Therefore the 3D-Solid method is not suitable for use with the older linking commands if adjacent sections contain strings that cross each other in the direction of wireframing. |
