Snout (LSNO)

The Snout primitive is a cylindrical element of varying diameter along its length. It may be eccentric or concentric. LSNO has particular attributes as follows:

• PAAX - direction of axis normal to top surface of snout (the A axis)

• PBAX - offset direction

• PTDI, PBDI - distance along A axis to top, bottom surfaces of snout

• PTDM, PBDM - diameter of top, bottom surfaces of snout

• POFF - the offset/eccentricity of the snout as measured in the PBAX direction

• TVISI - visibility of top face

• BVISI - visibility of bottom face

The sizes of the top and bottom surfaces of the snout may be defined in terms of their radii instead of their diameters.

• PTRA, PBRA - radius of top, bottom surfaces of snout
