The -- result is an unlooped shape parallel to the source shape. -- A MakeOffsetShape object provides a framework for: -- - defining the construction of a shell -- - implementing the construction algorithm -- - consulting the result. uses MakeOffset from BRepOffset, Mode from BRepOffset, Shape from TopoDS, Face from TopoDS, Edge from TopoDS, Vertex from TopoDS, ListOfShape from TopTools, JoinType from GeomAbs is Create returns MakeOffsetShape from BRepOffsetAPI; Create ( S : Shape from TopoDS; Offset : Real from Standard; Tol : Real from Standard; Mode : Mode from BRepOffset = BRepOffset_Skin; Intersection : Boolean from Standard = Standard_False; SelfInter : Boolean from Standard = Standard_False; Join : JoinType from GeomAbs = GeomAbs_Arc) ---Purpose: Constructs a shape parallel to the shape S, where -- - S may be a face, a shell, a solid or a compound of these shape kinds; -- - Offset is the offset value. The offset shape is constructed: -- - outside S, if Offset is positive, -- - inside S, if Offset is negative; -- - Tol defines the coincidence tolerance criterion for generated shapes; -- - Mode defines the construction type of parallels -- applied to the free edges of shape S; currently, only one -- construction type is implemented, namely the one where the free -- edges do not generate parallels; this corresponds to the default -- value BRepOffset_Skin; -- - Intersection specifies how the algorithm must work in -- order to limit the parallels to two adjacent shapes: -- - if Intersection is false (default value), the intersection -- is calculated with the parallels to the two adjacent shapes, -- - if Intersection is true, the intersection is calculated by -- taking all generated parallels into account; this computation method is -- more general as it avoids some self-intersections generated in the -- offset shape from features of small dimensions on shape S, however this -- method has not been completely implemented and therefore is not -- recommended for use; -- - SelfInter tells the algorithm whether a computation -- to eliminate self-intersections must be applied to the resulting -- shape; however, as this functionality is not yet -- implemented, it is recommended to use the default value (false); -- - Join defines how to fill the holes that may appear between -- parallels to the two adjacent faces. It may take values -- GeomAbs_Arc or GeomAbs_Intersection: -- - if Join is equal to GeomAbs_Arc, then pipes are generated -- between two free edges of two adjacent parallels, -- and spheres are generated on "images" of vertices; -- it is the default value, -- - if Join is equal to GeomAbs_Intersection, then the parallels to the -- two adjacent faces are enlarged and intersected, -- so that there are no free edges on parallels to faces. -- Warnings -- 1. All the faces of the shape S should be based on the surfaces -- with continuity at least C1. -- 2. The offset value should be sufficiently small to avoid -- self-intersections in resulting shape. Otherwise these -- self-intersections may appear inside an offset face if its -- initial surface is not plane or sphere or cylinder, also some -- non-adjacent offset faces may intersect each other. Also, some -- offset surfaces may "turn inside out". -- 3. The algorithm may fail if the shape S contains vertices where -- more than 3 edges converge. -- 4. Since 3d-offset algorithm involves intersection of surfaces, -- it is under limitations of surface intersection algorithm. -- 5. A result cannot be generated if the underlying geometry of S is -- BSpline with continuity C0. -- Exceptions -- Geom_UndefinedDerivative if the underlying -- geometry of S is BSpline with continuity C0. returns MakeOffsetShape from BRepOffsetAPI; MakeOffset (me) returns MakeOffset from BRepOffset ---C++: return const & ---Level: Advanced is virtual; Build (me : in out) ---Purpose: Builds the resulting shape (redefined from MakeShape). ---Level: Public is redefined; Generated (me: in out; S : Shape from TopoDS) ---Purpose: Returns the list of shapes generated from the -- shape . ---C++: return const & ---Level: Public returns ListOfShape from TopTools is redefined virtual; -- Modified by skv - Tue Mar 15 16:17:37 2005 Begin -- Add methods for supporting history.
