CAD Object Centers
|
|
##################
|
|
|
|
Finding the center of a CAD object is a surprisingly complex operation. To illustrate
|
|
let's consider two examples: a simple isosceles triangle and a curved line (their bounding
|
|
boxes are shown with dashed lines):
|
|
|
|
.. image:: assets/center.svg
|
|
:width: 49%
|
|
|
|
.. image:: assets/one_d_center.svg
|
|
:width: 49%
|
|
|
|
|
|
One can see that there is are significant differences between the different types of
|
|
centers. To allow the designer to choose the center that makes the most sense for the given
|
|
shape there are three possible values for the :class:`~build_enums.CenterOf` Enum:
|
