Construct Planes, Bounding Point Group    

Constructs two planes parallel to a reference plane which bound a set of specified points. The provided point group’s points all lie between the two resulting planes.

 

Input Arguments

 

0

Collection Object Name

Reference Plane Name

The name of the reference plane defining the resulting plane normals.

1

Collection Object Name

Group to Bound

The point group whose points will be bounded.

2

Collection Object Name

Resulting ‘High’ Plane Name (optional)

A name for the plane constructed on the “high” side of the points.

3

Collection Object Name

Resulting ‘Low’ Plane Name

(optional)

A name for the plane constructed on the “low”

side of the points.

 

4

 

Boolean

 

Override Target/Point Offsets

Specify whether to override the offsets of the provided points. If yes, the offsets provided in Argument 5 will determine the plane locations.

5

Double

Offset Value

A specified offset from the measured centers to locate the bounding planes (only applies if Argu-

ment 4 is TRUE).

 

Return Arguments

None.

 

Returned Status

 

SUCCESS

The planes were created successfully.

FAILURE

The reference plane or group to bound was not found.

 

Remarks

If the specified plane names already exist, they will be incremented to avoid duplicates.
