SolidIntersectAllFaces Method

Returns an enumerator for an array list of lists of plane - solid intersection points from all intersecting faces. The first item of one list contains points of the outmost intersection polygon and then the inner polygons (if there are any).

Namespace:  Tekla.Structures.Model
Assembly:  Tekla.Structures.Model (in Tekla.Structures.Model.dll) Version: 2022.0.13611
Syntax
Copy
public IEnumerator IntersectAllFaces(
	Point point1,
	Point point2,
	Point point3
)

Parameters

point1
Type: Tekla.Structures.Geometry3dPoint
The first plane point.
point2
Type: Tekla.Structures.Geometry3dPoint
The second plane point.
point3
Type: Tekla.Structures.Geometry3dPoint
The third plane point.

Return Value

Type: IEnumerator
An enumerator for an array list of intersection point lists.
Examples
