Additional status codes for PLANE_

[Frank Beister]

The GDL manuel provides additional status codes for the PLANE_ statement. Why do they not work for me?

PLANE_ 3,
 0, 0.2, 0.4,   1,
 1, 0.0, 0.7,   1,
 0, 0.7, 1.0,   1

addz -0.1

PLANE_ 4,
 0, 0.2, 0.4,   1,
 1, 0.0, 0.7,   1,
 2, 0.0, 0.0, 301,
 0, 0.7, 1.0,   1

The 2nd plane has an additional point (3) as tangent. But I get an "unallowed mask-code" as error.

None of the additional codes (100-4000) do work. Missing in parser? Too much in manual? Too less electrons in my neurons?

Hi Frank,
I think you are confusing PLANE_ with POLY_ additional statement.

I don't think so:

AC9 GDL-Manual:

Status Codes
Status codes introduced in the following pages allow users to create segments and arcs in planar polylines using special constraints.

Planar polylines with status codes at nodes are the basis of many GDL elements:

POLY_, PLANE_, PRISM_, CPRISM_, BPRISM_, FPRISM_, HPRISM_, SPRISM_, SLAB_, CSLAB_, CROOF_,
EXTRUDE, PYRAMID, REVOLVE, SWEEP, TUBE, TUBEA

Status codes allow you:
# to control the visibility of planar polyline edges
# to define holes in the polyline
# to control the visibility of side edges and surfaces
# to create segments and arcs in the polylin

Hi Frank,

.. cut ... POLY_, PLANE_, PRISM_, CPRISM_, BPRISM ..cut..

I know the gdl manual but you haven't considered it could be "wrong".

From the 6 version (or 6.5 .. - I don't remember -) is inserted this possibility ..... !!!!

Could be an incredible worm ( 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 8.1, 9 ...) ?

I don't think so!

You are right. But if I wouldn't have considered it could be "wrong", I wouldn't have asked here. 😉 I gave a look to the 9.0 and the 8.1 manual. Not enough: It's a fresh worm. No PLANE_ in the list in 5.0 manual, 6.0 manual and 7.0 manual. First occurance in the 8.0 manual.

The 8 was not best version. 😉

First occurance in the 8.0 manual.

maybe all gdl manuals are not equal ..
