Introduced first in SolidGeometry 5.5, Creation date: 2025-07-29, Last change: 2025-09-15

A connecting body is designed that transfers and connects two bodies for the opposite cross-sections into each other.

Use carefully: The 'SGcrosssectionadjustment' function has not yet been extensively tested

Description

When using FDM printers, one often wants to avoid overhangs and instead connect two contours with a transition.
Could also be named: SGmerging2SG, SGconnect2SG, SGconnect2SGbyFScrossection

This function demonstrates quite well which spatial transformations, in addition to the function SGof2CPLzheurist, are necessary to connect two spatial contours.[spchk]

Syntax

X=SGcrosssectionadjustment([A,B,ezrel,d])

Input Parameter

`A`:		Solid A
`B`:		Solid B
`ezrel`:		ez vector of A - spatial relation; default is [0 0 1]
`d`:		distance between B and A

Output Parameter

X: Connecting Solid

Examples


SGcrosssectionadjustment(SGofCPLz(PLcircle([12 15]), 10), SGDIN13(-10,10,'',PLcircle(15)),'',10) % Typical application
SGcrosssectionadjustment(SGofCPLz(CPLsample(3),10),SGofCPLz(CPLsample(32),[20 25]),'ontop')
SGcrosssectionadjustment(SGofCPLz(CPLsample(3),10),SGofCPLz(CPLsample(32),[40 42]),'ontop')
SGcrosssectionadjustment(SGofCPLz(CPLsample(30),10),SGofCPLz(CPLsample(31),[40 42]),'ontop',10)
SGcrosssectionadjustment(SGofCPLz(CPLsample(3),10),SGofCPLz(CPLsample(31),[40 42]),'ontop',10) % unfavorable but possible
SGcrosssectionadjustment(SGofCPLz(CPLsample(31),[40 42]),SGofCPLz(CPLsample(3),10),'ontop',10)  % unfavorable but possible
