Operator Reference
union_object_model_3d (Operator)
union_object_model_3d
— Combine several 3D object models to a new 3D object model.
Signature
union_object_model_3d( : : ObjectModels3D, Method : UnionObjectModel3D)
Description
union_object_model_3d
combines the data of all input models
in ObjectModels3D
to a new 3D object model that is returned in
UnionObjectModel3D
.
Overlapping areas in the 3D object models might cause the potential 2D mapping, polygons, or triangles in the output to be less useful, since they might overlap, too.
The only supported Method
is so far 'points_surface' ,
which combines all points, surfaces and lines into the output
UnionObjectModel3D
.
Extended Attributes are copied if no holes appear, i.e., if they are
present in all input object models where the standard attribute they are
attached to exists.
Attention
union_object_model_3d
ignores 3D object models of type 3D primitive
and 3D shape model.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Automatically parallelized on internal data level.
Parameters
ObjectModels3D
(input_control) object_model_3d(-array) →
(handle)
Handle of input 3D object models.
Method
(input_control) string →
(string)
Method used for the union.
Default: 'points_surface'
List of values: 'points_surface'
UnionObjectModel3D
(output_control) object_model_3d →
(handle)
Handle of the resulting 3D object model.
Example (HDevelop)
gen_object_model_3d_from_points ([0,0,0,0],[1,1,0,0], [0,1,1,0],\ ObjectModel3D1) gen_object_model_3d_from_points ([1,1,1,1],[1,1,0,0], [0,1,1,0],\ ObjectModel3D2) get_object_model_3d_params (ObjectModel3D1, 'diameter', DiameterOld) union_object_model_3d ([ObjectModel3D1,ObjectModel3D2], 'points_surface',\ UnionObjectModel3D) get_object_model_3d_params (UnionObjectModel3D, 'diameter', DiameterNew)
Result
union_object_model_3d
returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if all parameters
are correct. If there is no attribute common in all input
objects, an exception is raised.
