New Representation of Shell Plates - *12​.1​.SP4*

Description

Shell plates can now be represented using a Generic Primitive created from the referenced surface and the involved seams in that surface. The new representation gives a more exact representation when presenting graphically or when exporting to 3rd party systems.

The new representation is enabled by setting the variable SBH_ENABLE_SOLID_PLATES to YES.

With this new representation enabled the performance when creating shell plates is degraded, however using the plates are on the same performance level as before.

Benefits

The representation of shell plates is now much more accurate with holes included if existing. The new representation will give higher and more robust quality in various operations, for example, Shell Plate Compensation

Compatibility Constraints

None.
