The set of results.
Design: Profile
The display plane is centered at the bounding box center of the solid.
Flags : Cached (Note this is uncached)
Expression : // Drop the bbox center onto the plane, and use that for the shown Plane const bb = this.solid.bbox; const cen = bb.center(); const pla = R.makePlane(this.planePoint, this.planeNormal); const drop = pla.drop(cen); return drop;
A Plane primitive. If not supplied, and planePoint and planeNormal are left, then the plane is the local XY plane, and thus can be defined by the position parameter.
Flags : Cached, Parameter (Note this is uncached)
Expression : R.makePlane(this.planePoint, this.planeNormal)
A vector which defines the plane perpendicular. This is ignored if plane is supplied directly.
Flags : Cached, Parameter (Note this is uncached)
Expression : this.unitZ
A point which the plane passes through. This is ignored if plane is supplied directly.
Flags : Cached, Parameter (Note this is uncached)
Expression : this.origin
The internal result used to create the Profile children.
Flags : cached
Expression : if (!this.solid) return []; let inter; try { inter = this.plane.intersectMesh(this.solid.meshData, this.solid.transform); } catch (e) { R.message.error(PlanarSection.polygons: section failed with '${e.message}'`);

R.message.warn(PlanarSection.polygons: section failed, returned '${inter.status}');

If true, the section plane is shown.
Flags : Cached, Parameter (Note this is uncached)
Expression : false
A solid which supports the meshData protocol, which is supported by most volumetric solids.
Flags : Cached, Parameter (Note this is uncached)
Expression : null
PlanarSection (d.1.0)
Mixins: BaseAssembly
A PlanarSection is a set of planar profiles formed by intersecting a plane with a solid defined by a 3D mesh. The result is a set of Profile children, possibly containing holes. Note that the section is an approximation if the mesh is an approximation, and the boundary will always consist of linear segments. So a PlanarSection of a Sphere will not result in a circle, but a polygon based on the resolution of the sphere.
