Description

Creates separate wireframes for each logically discrete piece of data formed by the interaction of two wireframe data collections. Two separate data are input to this command, and each output represents one interconnected surface from the original objects; however original surfaces may have been divided by intersection with the other object’s wireframe. Inputs can either be loaded wireframe objects or collections of preselected wireframe triangle data.

The Extract Separate command will attempt to classify each new wireframe data surface with respect to the other wireframe data. Each surface may be classified as being Inside, Outside, or On the other wireframe object. This classification method makes use of the face direction stored for each triangle within the wireframe.

See Wireframe Extract Separate for detailed command steps, examples and more guidelines.

Note: the Extract Separate screen is also displayed when the wireframe-merge command is run.

Note: this command is also available using the BOOLEAN process (@METHOD=4).

Note: This command supports flexible wireframe selection.
