Vertexes in 3dSolid

Hi all,

I've created a 3DSolid based on the substraction of two other solids.
I'm trying to create a list of the vertexes and faces of the generated solid.

Are there any commands available that i can use to do this? Or is there a piece of code availble that i can use as a basis.

Roel,

All you can get is the MassProp stuff...volume
ect..You also know it's centroid's WCS location. If you
have a simple solid and know the profile you can
deduce the points.

If not explode... grab your data... then delete what you don't
need.

ARX offers more data if your C++ inclined...

Paul,

Didn't know that exploding a 3dsolid results in combinations of regions and exploding these regions in curves (lines and arcs). This gives me the information that i could use

Could you redirect me to the referred arx docs in c++?

Thx

Roel,

Also check out the bounding box of the solid in VBa

For ARx check out objectarx group, just as helpful as this group,
some of the same brains... autodesk.autocad.objectarx

If you have lots of 3D data to extract there is software(arx apps) out there
to do it.

The 3D solids data is encrypted. To get usable data for lisp or VB you must either:
Decrypt the data
Link to a COM object done in C++ that returns the data to VB or Lisp

Or

You must use C++
Check out the \ObjectArx\utils\brep\samples\brepsamp in the ObjectARX SDK. It is free from Autodesk.

If there is another way, I am unaware of it.
