CGX swep: problems with bodies from surfaces #16

Closed mkraska closed 7 years ago

mkraska commented 7 years ago

In geo.fbd I try to generate bodies by sweeping surfaces, made from lines. Even the surfaces with 5 edges won't sweep to a body although in geo1.fbd this works.

  1. "swep" of a surface either creates a map-meshable body or fails to generate a body from the generated surfaces. It is still possible to create a free-meshable body using the "body" command.
  2. If "swep" has multiple surfaces to sweep, it stops to generate bodies as soon as it fails to do so for any of the surfaces. Workaround: Sweep the problematic surfaces separately and make the bodies using "body".
