Description

Creates a line that approximates the middle path between two roughly parallel, roughly planar, lines.

Inputs

linelist1
The ID of a list of lines forming one side of the path.
trimnodelist1
The ID of a list of 0 or 2 nodes that mark the endpoints to use to trim the lines in linelist1.
linelist2
The ID of a list of lines forming the other side of the path.
trimnodelist2
The ID of a list of 0 or 2 nodes that mark the endpoints to use to trim the lines in linelist2.

Example

The four *createlist() directives are required for this command.

To create a midline between lines 22 and 23:
*createlist(lines,1) 22
*createlist(nodes,1)
*createlist(lines,2) 23
*createlist(nodes,2)
*linescreatemidline(1,1,2,2)

Errors

None.
