Change Tolerance Settings for Enclosed Areas

Home > 02 Basic Tools > Change Tolerance Settings for Enclosed Areas

A number of tolerance settings are available to identify enclosed areas.
This feature is used for the following commands.
Pattern (\patrn)
Assemble Lines to Polygons (\aspol)
Crosshatch (\net)
Update Fill (\updfill)
Hatch (\hatch)
Choose the for settings option, in the commands listed above, to control the tolerances of the following:

SEGMENT EXTENSION
Set the length (in mm), adjacent segments will extend towards each other to be considered joined.
PLANAR ACCURACY
Set the value (in mm) for the adjacent segments that reside in different planes (z). The system closes the plane according to the value set in this field.
OVERLAPPING POINTS
Set a minimum distance between two points (in mm), less than which the system recognizes them as a single point (useful to determine whether a gap between the walls is detected).
SIZE OF ARC SEGMENT
Set the size (in mm.) of each segment of the arc.
NO. OF SEGMENTS
Set the minimum and maximum number of segments in an arc (with fewer segments the system processes the command more rapidly and smaller files are created; increasing the number of segments smoothes the curve but also creates larger files).
SEARCH FACTOR
Automatically increases the factor by which the segments are closed using the Search Factor options.
FACTOR
Determine the factor by which the segment along z axis and along each line is closed.
NO. OF LOOPS
Determine the number of times to increase the factor.
