Surface (Dataset)
Create a surface dataset.
Syntax
model.result().dataset().create(
<dtag>
,"Surface");
model.result().dataset(
<dtag>
).set(
property
,
<value>
);
Description
model.result().dataset().create(
<dtag>
,"Surface")
creates a surface dataset with the name
<dtag>
.
The surface dataset makes it possible to evaluate surfaces of a 3D model in 2D or 3D. For evaluation in 2D, different parameterizations of the 2D projection are available.
The following properties are available:
