Syntax
|
PATCH OFFSET $W $N |
Description
This command is used to generate or check an offset surface.
An offset surface is generated by providing a name and a distance. Each patch of the OUTER surface (the surface fitted from the orthogonal and 3d curves), is offset by the given distance in a direction normal to the OUTER surface. The resultant surface can be selected as the "current" surface using the DEFINE SURFACE command.
The integrity of an offset surface can be checked by using the CHECK option. In this case, some or all of the patches of the surface can be checked.
