SGseparate

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - VLFL/Surfaces
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 2.1, Creation date: 2015-01-04, Last change: 2025-09-14

plots or returns sorted surfaces or one surface of a solid geometry

Description

SGseparate is a newer (faster and more convinient) version of VLFLseparate
Based on ELorder and VLELselect.
With only one surface is asked, surface is moved into 1st. Quadrant
With no output parmeter, the surface(s) are plotted using VLFLfigure
With no SG specified, VLFLui is used to read in an STL-File
2017-06-14: i can be index or index list
2018-08-24: Have in mind that SGshort can change the solid list
2021-07-27: See als VLFLregions
