Cross Section Auto Area Minimize

Open patmo141 opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

Iteratively "wiggle" (in orientation) a cross section to mimimize it's area. This usually represents the most ideal cross section.

sub to do....function to calculate area of a loop. Does this already exit? For simple shapes this is very easy.

I should actually change this. I think the best way is to measure the original form normals at all the derived contour points and try to make the cut normal as perpendicular to this as possible. This is a valid assumption on a limited set of cases but will make a predictable and easy to implement result. Caveat, mesh normals must be updated and calculated and not tampered with previously
