sgCGroup*   sgBoolean::Section(const sgC3DObject& obj, const SG_VECTOR& planeNormal, double planeD)

 

 

Description:

Creates a group of line segments which are the intersection of a 3D object surface and a plane, i.e. the line segments with all their points lying both on the surface of the first object and on the plane.

 

Arguments:

obj - 3D object,

planeNormal - normal to the plane,

planeD - free coefficient in the plane equation

 

Returned value:

Returns the pointer to a group of line segments which are the intersection of an object surface and a plane. If the object surface and the plane are not intersecting or in case of an internal error the function returns NULL.

 

 

Note:

An internal error may occur in case you call this function for the surfaces or solids with self-intersections (these solids may be constructed, for example, by a number of kinematic operations).

The function for correcting self-intersections of solids is planned in the next library version.
