Description: The user can draw several points along the two parametric dimensions of a selected surface.

Inline mode usage:

• pointsFromSurface -h: Prints command usage.
• pointsFromSurface –noTrim <name_surface> -p <n_points_U> <n_points_V>: Extract points from along a surface <name_surface>. The user needs to introduce the maximum number of points along the U-dimension and the V-dimension of the surface, not considering trimmed points.
• pointsFromSurface <name_surface> -p <n_points_U> <n_points_V>: Extract points from along a surface <name_surface>. The user needs to introduce the maximum number of points along the U-dimension and the V-dimension in the valid region of the surface.

Interactive mode usage:

• Invocation: pointsFromSurface
• Parameters:
• Surface.
• Number of points along the U-dimension.
• Number of points along the V-dimension.

Example:

For this example, one surface must be defined.

> pointsFromSurface

Select objects on screen (Press enter when done):

Number of points in U-dimension [integer]: 20

Number of points in V-dimension [integer]: 40

> 

Result:

Extract points from a surface
