Class PointConvert
- Namespace
- GeometryHelper.TeklaConvert
- Assembly
- GeometryHelper.TeklaConvert.dll
Converts geometry between Tekla Structures and GeometryHelper.
The two libraries describe the same shapes and disagree only about names and about how much they insist on. Tekla hands back what its modeller happens to hold; GeometryHelper asks for flatness, for a closed boundary, and for normals that point out of the body. The conversions here do that checking rather than trusting it, because a body that only looks right measures wrong later and says nothing about why.
Tekla models in millimetres with coordinates that can run to hundreds of thousands, and a face of a twelve metre member is rarely flat to the last decimal. The default tolerance is often too tight for that, so every conversion that needs one takes it, and the overloads without one read Global as everywhere else.
