More about the Fill Command

There are a few things that you need to know when developing wires and points.

Creating Fill Surfaces

Intersection

The selected curves or surface edges can intersect. Therefore, a relimitation of the intersecting boundaries is performed to allow the creation of the fill surface.



Warning:
  • Two consecutive boundaries must have only one intersection.
  • The selected curves cannot be closed curves.

Non-coincident Boundaries

The selected curves or surface edges can have non-coincident boundaries. Therefore, an extrapolation is performed to allow the creation of the fill surface.





Warning: The distance between non-coincident boundaries must be smaller than 0.1mm.

Detect Canonical Portion

The Canonical portion detection check box automatically computes the planar and cylindrical surfaces information, if they exist in the fill surface.

By default, this option is selected.

Other Cases

A two-side fill surface cannot be created in the following ambiguous cases:

  • one intersection and two distances below 0.1 mm:

  • no true intersection (therefore there may be several distances below 0.1 mm)
