Improved Performance of Extrusions

These enhancements are focused on speeding up Extrusions and Panels by improving the handling of their vertices. Vertex (VERT) & Panel Vertex (PAVE) elements have 10 p-points, mostly for dimensioning purposes. Each p-point number has a particular functional position:
|
P0 |
Origin of Vertex |
|
P1 |
Bottom panel face in line with panel vertex |
|
P2 |
Midway through panel in line with panel vertex |
|
P3 |
Top panel face in line with panel vertex |
|
P4, P6 |
Bottom face tangent points (for filleted radius at vertex) |
|
P5, P7 |
Top face tangent points (for filleted radius at vertex) |
|
P8 |
Bottom face fillet centre |
|
P9 |
Top face fillet centre. |
There are two changes to improve performance:
-
Calculate all the p-point positions in one go when drawing them in Draft.
-
Omit P5 to P9 when the fillet radius is zero, as they are coincident with the first four.
