Description
Creates a wireframe link between two perimeters (closed strings) or two strings. If using tag strings, they cannot be linked.
- Use the link-to-line command to link a string to a perimeter.
- 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, see Wireframe Linking Settings.
- Tag strings can be used to control linking, see use-tag-switch.
Note: This command uses the Maximum Segment Length value (if greater than zero), as specified in Wireframe Linking Settings to limit the generated segment length of generated wireframe triangles.
Command steps:
-
Load or digitize any tag strings you wish to use to control the linking of strings. See Wireframe Tag Strings.
-
To restrict string linking to a subset of loaded and visible string data, select it in any 3D window so that it is highlighted.
-
In the Current Objects toolbar, select or create a new current wireframe object. Alternatively, if no current wireframe object exists, a new one is created automatically.
-
Run the command.
-
Following the prompts in the Status Bar, select a point on the first string perimeter.
Note: If string data was preselected, you will only be able to choose a string that is selected.
-
Select a point on the second string or perimeter. A wireframe surface is generated between the two strings.
Note: If string data was preselected, you will only be able to choose a string that is selected.
-
Repeat step 3 until all required strings and perimeters have been linked in sequence.
-
Click Cancel.
