3.73. pointsFromSurface command
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.
