by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - PL/Point Lists
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 5.2, Creation date: 2022-04-06, Last change: 2025-09-15
creates cross section of twisted (laid) ropes
Description
This function must be changed since Bravaislattice is the wrong approach to create rope pattern
The results created for SGofCPLztwist does no work for threadbars since the shape is not symmetric!
