To get any co-ordinate on the surface

Roshan Shiveshwar

Hi,

 

I want to get any coordinate (x,y,z) that lies on the surface.

Only condition is that it should not be on the surface edges (Please refer the image attached).

 

Is there any API available to achieve this?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

Thanks,

Roshan

Why do you need it?

Roshan Shiveshwar

Using these coordinates, I can identify the surfaces in SimLab .

Ok

I don't know direct command, try

Enter nodes panel, extract node at parametric i don't know there is surf or not

Or

Try creating a parametric line at 0.5 uv bounds .that line will be among surf boundary then a node on it will satisfy

I can get the coordinates on the surface boundaries. But, it will be much useful if I can get it inside surface boundaries.

Follow my gui, you will reach target

Can you do it?

I found surfs on extract parametric nodes panel

it's ok for you:

Thanks Tinh,

This method is useful. I will try this on different types of surfaces and see if it works everywhere.

Hi ,

 

Just discovered that in certain cases this method does not work.

Ty with u v bounds from 0.0 to 1.0 instead of 0.5 to 0.5
