SGplateunder

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - Modeling function
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 2.1, Creation date: 2015-02-22, Last change: 2025-09-14

returns a plate that is completely under the solid

Description

plate shape is a parallel projection of the outer contour onto the x/y plane. This function is used by VLFLimageoftext. It is also used for SGcombbackofSG wich is mainly the same.
ATTENTION if d <0; the opponent frame it not an opponent, only if the parts are separated

Syntax

SGP=SGplateunder(SG,[h,d,ez,FN])

d: gap between solid and plate (can be negative); default is -1e-3
ez: option vector for postion of the plate; default is '' ~ [0 0 -1]
FN: optional frame wildcards for SGTcopyasopponent

Output Parameter

SGP: Plate under SG
