Projection Creation

Table of Contents

• Scope of accepted geometries
• API overview

The projection algorithm provides a way to create a model projection and obtain information about it.

Scope of accepted geometries

The projection tool (Projector_PolyProjector) works with ModelData::Part , creating projections from ModelData::Shape geometries:

• ModelData::Solid
• ModelData::Shell
• ModelData::Face
• ModelData::MeshBody

API overview

Projector_PolyProjector is the class that creates projection of a given ModelData::Part . It returns a Projector_Projection that contains information about projection area. See Projector Example.

using namespace cadex;
 
ModelData::Part aPart = ...;
Projector_PolyProjector aProjector;
Projector_Projection aData = aProjector.Perform (aPart, Geom::Direction::YDir())
