pocket boundary

[Duckman]

just wondering if there are any functions that operate on pock_bounds? it seems like i can convert chains to pocket bounds, but then that doesn't help me ? thx!

I mean, aside from like draw_pocket_bounds...?

[Duckman]

i guess what i'm really wondering is if, given a p_2d, is there a way i can determine if that point is enclosed by a specific pocket bound?

 

thx!

Duckman,

 

Are you trying to click on a point to ask if that point is within a pocket? There's Analyze Area/Volume that will tell you how much space is occupied by a 2D shape or surface or solid. Determining whether a chosen point is within the boundary of a specific pocket could be accomplished by Analyzing the point and the chain and comparing numbers. A little more information may be needed to provide more precise support.

FYI, you can Edit your own forum posts so you can include more information that you think of later. Only the Webmaster and the author of a post can edit posts in the forum. HTH

no, this is all within a CHOOK program...right now I have a linked list of chains, and I need to know which of these chains are completely contained in another chain
