VLFLclosure

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - SG/Solids
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 1.0, Creation date: 2013-01-09, Last change: 2025-09-14

returns a surface in which the solid can be pushed in from z-direction

Description

Powerful procedure for many applications. Used first time in exp_2013_01_09. The procedure generates a convex hull for any objects, so that the object can be insert into the hull using the [0 0 -1] direction
