- Connects two polygons to form a solid entity.
-
- 1. (IND) first polygon
- 2. (Y/N) confirm choice
- 3. (IND) second polygon
- 4. (Y/N) confirm choice
- 5. (Y/N) create a POSITIVE solid ? <Y>
-
- Description:
- This command connects two indicated polygons to form a solid entity.
- Indicate and confirm the first polygon. Indicate and confirm the second
- polygon. Reply `y' or `n' to the prompt create a POSITIVE solid? The two
- polygons will be joined by lines connecting each vertex of the first polygon
- to the corresponding vertex of the second polygon.
-
- In order to successfully connect two polygons, the following conditions must
- be fulfilled:
- 1. Both polygons must be drawn in the same direction.
- 2. The number of vertices must be the same in both polygons.
- 3. The first points of the polygons must be opposite one another.
- 4. The number of arcs and their respective locations must be the same in both
- polygons.
- 5. The number of rings (\pjump) and their respective interruption points must
- be the same in both polygons.
- 6. If the polygons do not bear the same orientation (i.e., one is twisted
- relative to the other) the connecting surfaces will be divided into
- triangular polygons and the resultant solid will be a complex (type 9)
- solid.
- If you execute the command on an open polygon a warning will be issued.
