ruled command

[Aussie John]

Im trying to create a "ruled" with a hole in the shape
but I keep getting a wrong hole definition.
The manual doesnt give any clues in this regard.

Here is a typ script that isnt working (the item is supposed to be tapering but for simplicity have made the rise vertical)

T=.1
z=1
ruled 9, 1+2+4+32+16,

0,0,0,
a,0,0,
a,b,0,
0,b,0,
0,0,-1,

T,T,0,
a-T,T,0,
a-T,T,0,
T,b-T,-1,

0,0,z,
a,0,z,
a,b,z,
0,b,z,
0,0,z,

T,T,z,
a-T,T,z,
a-T,T,z,
T,b-T,z

I think this was answered on the GDL-talk...

The "RULED" command does not allow you to script holes into the surface. You would need to punch the holes into the ruled surface with something like "CUTPOLY" or "CUTSHAPE".

Thanks I got it to work nicely with the boolean cutting (similar to SEO)
and learnt a new process to boot
