Holes for Penetrating Objects

When generating plane panels it is possible to create holes in plates by references to penetrating objects of the following types:

• Pillars

• Pipes

• Ventilation ducts

If not otherwise specified the hole contour is equal to the section curve of the penetrating object. It is also possible to specify a clearance around the penetrating object.

If the object penetrates at a non-right angle there will two somewhat different contours on the two sides of the penetrated plate. These two contours will automatically be merged into one "enclosing" contour.

It is also possible to have the fitting angle ("dotori") calculated around the holes and use this angle for control of bevel burning.
