Description
Links selected strings to form a solid wireframe, after sorting on a selected numeric attribute which determines the linking order. A number of strings (defined interactively through a dialog) will be grouped together.
|
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. |
How to Use
-
On running the command, a dialog will prompt for a numeric attribute to define the linking sequence. If fewer than two strings have been selected you will be requested to "...select more than one string".
-
Enter the name of an attribute and click OK.
-
Define the number of strings that should be grouped together.
-
Click OK.
