SGcut

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - Boolean
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 2.1, Creation date: 2015-01-08, Last change: 2025-09-14

Cuts a solid geometry into 2 parts at a defined z-plane

Description

returns two solid solids (VL,FL). It is a good programming example how to use SGslicer.
Without output parameter is shows the cutted parts using VLFLfigure
Since REl 4.9 it allows parameters as z similar to SGcutend

Syntax

[SGA,SGB]=SGcut(SG,[z])

Input Parameter

SG: Solid Geometry (VL,FL)
z: z value for slicing or interval [z1 z2] or character such as 'x', 'y', 'z'

Output Parameter

SGA: Solid below cutting plane (and above z2) (grey)
SGB: Solid above cutting plane (and in between z2) (magenta)

Examples


SGcut (SGsample(7),+10);
SGcut(SGsample(4));
SGcut(SGsample(25));
SGcut(SGsample(25),'x+');
SGcut(SGsample(25),'x-');
