Seam by Plane

The plane can be a principal plane or one of the other plane types, "ByPoints", "Angled", "AxisParallel" or "Stored". The plane is defined by a "ByPrincipalPLane" or a "ByPlane" element:

The "ByPrincipalPlane" is documented in PrincipalPlane/ByPrincipalPlane Element and the "ByPlane" element in Plane/ByPlane Element

Example:

1 - Seams by principal plane

1 - Seams by principal plane

<Seam ObjId="SPS950" Symmetry="Symmetric" BlockLimit="true">

<ByPrincipalPlane X="FR40"/>

<Box XMin="FR20" YMin="0" XMax="FR100" YMax="30000"/>

</Seam>

<Seam ObjId="SPS952" Symmetry="PS">

<ByPrincipalPlane X="FR50"/>

</Seam>

<Seam ObjId="SPS953" Symmetry="SB">

<ByPrincipalPlane Y="LP10"/>

</Seam>

<Seam ObjId="SPS955" Symmetry="CL">

<ByPrincipalPlane Y="LP15"/>

</Seam>

<Seam ObjId="SPS958" Symmetry="Symmetric">

<ByPrincipalPlane Z="LP38"/>

</Seam>

Example:

2 - Planar seam by three points

<Seam ObjId="SPS970">

<ByPlane Surface="SPHULL">

<ByPoints>

<Point>

<Explicit X="18000" Y="2000" Z="10000"/>

</Point>

<Point>

<Explicit X="10000" Y="2000" Z="10000"/>

</Point>

<Point>

<OnSurface Approx="Z" Surface="SPHULL" X="55000" Y="5000" Z="8000"/>

</Point>

</ByPoints>

</ByPlane>

</Seam>

Example:

3 - Planar seam by axis parallel plane

<Seam ObjId="SPS953">

<ByPlane>

<AxisParallel Axis="Y">

<Point>

<Explicit X="FR20" Y="LP15" Z="LP34"/>

</Point>

<Point>

<Explicit X="FR28" Y="LP15" Z="LP24"/>

</Point>

</AxisParallel>

</ByPlane>

</Seam>

Example:

4 - Planar seam by angled plane

<Seam ObjId="SPS972">

<ByPlane>

<Angled>

<Point>

<Explicit X="30000" Y="4000" Z="7000"/>

</Point>

<Point>

<Explicit X="15000" Y="3000" Z="6000"/>

</Point>

<Angle Axis="X" Angle="10"/>

</Angled>

</ByPlane>

</Seam>
