About the Fill Command

There are a few things that you need to know when developing wires and points.

This page discusses:

Creating Fill Surfaces

Intersection

The selected curves or surface edges can intersect. Therefore, a relimitation of the intersecting boundaries is performed to allow the creation of the fill surface.



Warning:
  • Two consecutive boundaries must have only one intersection.
  • The selected curves cannot be closed curves.

Non-coincident Boundaries

The selected curves or surface edges can have non-coincident boundaries. Therefore, an extrapolation is performed to allow the creation of the fill surface.





Warning: The distance between non-coincident boundaries must be smaller than 0.1mm.

Detect Canonical Portion

The Canonical portion detection check box automatically computes the cylindrical surfaces information, if they exist in the fill surface.

Note: This option has no effect on planar surfaces.

By default, this option is selected.

Check if the fill creation required a trim

Use this option to be alerted by an error message, if the created fill surface has been trimmed and the boundaries do no longer correspond to isoparametric curves.

Other Cases

A two-side fill surface cannot be created in the following ambiguous cases:

  • One intersection and two distances below 0.1 mm.

  • No true intersection (therefore there may be several distances below 0.1 mm).
