REVOLVE hides extra lines?

Anonymous — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 14:45:24 GMT

Hello everyone, I created a script with the GDL REVOLVE command, but this is not what I want. I want to clear out the extra lines, as if it is not allowed.

this my code:

pen 1
material 60
roty 90
RESOL 6
REVOLVE 12, 360, 64,
        -0.2778735712153, 0.2017007160007,     0,
        -0.3351696591221, 0.186390306818,     0,
        -0.3889480822817, 0.1613876765317,     0,
        -0.4375833232646, 0.1274485596708,     0,
        -0.4375833232646, 1.293496448338E-17,     0,
        -2.440725391568E-16, 0.003989203055807,     0,
        -2.391851946749E-16, 0.1274485596708,     0,
        -0.04863524098297, 0.1613876765317,     0,
        -0.1024136641425, 0.186390306818,     0,
        -0.1597097520494, 0.2017007160007,     0,
        -0.2187916616323, 0.2068561285738,     0,
        -0.2778735712153, 0.2017007160007,     0

This picture is the effect I want.

I modified the code again and the problem persists.I have tried many times and can't solve the problem.
mask = 4*j3 + 8*j4 + 16*j5 + 32*j6 + 64*j7 + 128*j8 + 256*j9, where each j can be 0 or 1.

Instead of drawing your poly line as 8 segments, can you draw it as a single segment instead using Additional Status Codes? eg. 3000?

EDIT: Actually, I am not sure how that would work given the Resol statement...

If you use RevolvedShellAngular instead, then there is no need for the Resol statement. This allows you to use code 3000 removing the vertices that cause the horizontal divides. Flipping the shell surface then removes the spokes on the top and bottom faces, though you will need to change your coordinates to reflect the internal size instead of the actual size.

REVOLVEDSHELLANGULAR 60, 60,		!topMat, bottomMat,
60, 60, 60, 60, 60,			!sideMat_1, sideMat_2, sideMat_3, sideMat_4, defaultMat,
5, 0, 0.1, 1, 0, 0, 360,		!n, offset, thickness, flipped, trimmingBody, alphaOffset, alpha,
1, 6,					!segmentationType, nOfSegments,
0, 0, 1, 0,
0, 1, 0, 0,
1, 0, 0, 0,

0, 0,	8,
0, 2,	1,
5, -2,	900,
10, 2,	3000+2,
10, 0,	8

thanks for lingwisyer
RevolvedShellAngular Unable to control the number of segments,
So I made a little modification using the loop statement

You can just increase the second number in line 3 to increase the number of segments (!nOfSegments). Or are you talking about the segmentation of the curve?
