*show_new_target

Syntax

*show_new_target face offsetpoint_x offsetpoint_y offsetpoint_z target_x target_y target_z code

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Draws a segment in the new target component. This segment connects the point to offset with the target point.

Inputs

face

Index of the surface to be offset.

offsetpoint_x

X coordinate of the point to be offset.

offsetpoint_y

Y coordinate of the point to be offset.

offsetpoint_z

Z coordinate of the point to be offset.

target_x

X coordinate of the pilot point.

target_y

Y coordinate of the pilot point.

target_z

Z coordinate of the pilot point.

code

• 0 The target point is a midpoint between the offset point and the pilot point.
• 1 The target point is the pilot point.
• 2 The target point is a midpoint between the offset point and the pilot point. If the offset point is at a vertex of the surface to offset, the target is combined with any existing targets for that vertex and displays the combined target in the new target component.
• 3 The target point is the pilot point. If the offset point is at a vertex of the surface to offset, the target is combined with any existing targets for that vertex and displays the combined target in the new target component.
• 4 Behaves exactly as option 2, but also displays the targets being combined and the target planes in the targets being combined component.
• 5 Behaves exactly as option 3, but also displays the targets being combined and the target planes in the targets being combined component.
• -1 The command combines the targets that existed at the vertex; the pilot point is ignored.
• -5 As for option –1, but also displays the targets being combined component.

Example

Users cannot manually employ this command, because HyperMesh must internally generate the index values (they cannot simply be typed in).

Errors

None.
