wireframe-under-surface-intersecting ("wus")

See this command in the command table.

To access this command:

  • Surfaces ribbon >> Operations >> DTMs >> Solid Under Intersecting DTM.
  • Using the command line, enter "wireframe-under-surface-intersecting"

  • Display the Find Command screen, locate wireframe-under-surface-intersecting and click Run.

Create a closed wireframe which surrounds the volume underneath the "Upper DTM" and above the "Lower DTM". The DTMs must intersect.

This command assumes that surfaces are fully intersecting (i.e. the intersection line is fully closed) as no checks will be made to assess this. This makes it a rapid command to use when you have high confidence that input objects intersect each other fully. If not, unexpected results may occur. If you would like to check if your surfaces are fully-intersecting first, and extend surfaces if required, use wireframe-under-surface instead.

Displays the Volume under Intersecting DTM screen. Follow this link for more information and an example.
