CVLzofSGslices
by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - CVLz/Slices
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 3.8, Creation date: 2017-05-15, Last change: 2025-09-14
returns a stack of slices as CVL (CPL including z) of a SG
Description
RENAMED IN SG-Lib 5.0 from "CVLofSGslices" to "CVLzofSGslices"
This function is useful for creating 3D printing strategies over several slices. It also helps to reconstruct solids. The slicer functions differ a little bit:
-CPLofSGslice - Single Slice
-CPLofSGslice2 - Slices in a list of z values
-CPLofSGslice3 - Slicing in 3 dimensions at the same time, several slices (returns also CVL)
-CVLzofSGslices - Slices in z (return CVL)
-CVLzofSGsliceauto - Slices automatically in z (return CVL)
-SGslicer - Basic function behind all of the above

Syntax
CVL=CVLzofSGslices(SG,[n,l,thre])
Input Parameter
SG: | | Solid Geometry |
n: | | number of slices; default is 10; if n is real, n is the slice distance |
l: | | optional limit for contour order; default is '' |
thre: | | reduction at top and bottom; default is 1e-2 |
Output Parameter
CVL: | | CVLz of the slices including the relevant c coordinate |
Examples
CVLzofSGslices(SGsample(23),50)
CVLzofSGslices(SGsample(25),50); view(0,0) % All contours
CVLzofSGslices(SGsample(25),50,0); view(0,0) % Most outward contour
CVLzofSGslices(SGsample(25),50,1); view(0,0) % Outward plus 1st inner
CVLzofSGslices(SGsample(25),50,2); view(0,0) % Outward plus 1st and 2nd inner
CVLzofSGslices(SGsample(25),1.001,1); view(0,0) % slicing distance is 1 mm
