viewdimensioning

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - ENG-Dimensioning
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 3.8, Creation date: 2017-04-05, Last change: 2025-09-14

changes the view parameter for an engineering view

Description

make sure that drawnow is used before calling viewdimensioning
This function works similar to view but allows to add a crossing point to see only a crossing plane;
Nevertheless such a crossing plane requires in fact a real slicing of the sold at the right possition

Example Illustration

 missing image of viewdimensioning(a,b,crossp,alpha)

Syntax

[CPL,CVL,X]=viewdimensioning([a,b,crossp,alpha])

Input Parameter

a: view angle a
b: view angle b
crossp: optional crossing point / plane
alpha: alpha value

Output Parameter

CPL: Contour Point list x y 0
CVL: Contour vertex list x y z
X: Crossing Solid

Examples


SGfigure(SGsample(17)); drawnow; CPL=viewdimensioning(0,0,[0 0 0]); PLdimensioning(CPL);
SGfigure(SGsample(17)); drawnow; CPL=viewdimensioning(-90,0,[0 0 0]); PLdimensioning(CPL);

close all; SGfigure(SGsample(17)); view(-30,30);
view(0,90)
viewdimensioning(0,-90,[0 0 15],0.1)
[a,b,c]=viewdimensioning(0,-90,[0 0 15],0.1);
SGplot(c); CVLplot(b,'b-',3);
