[Je...] Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 . Calypso '23 here. I noticed that I am able to use planes and other non-cylindery features for the parallel cylinders construction feature. Can anyone explain why this might be so? . . Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/7528-using-planes-to-construct-parallel-cylinders/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 My guess, recall feature points is independent of feature type. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/7528-using-planes-to-construct-parallel-cylinders/#findComment-31934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Je...] Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 Please sign in to view this quote. I think you're right, David. I have not used the parallel cylinders construction much. I had not considered that parallel cylinders is recalling points from multiple features rather than recalling multiple features. The recalled features in this type of construction act more like point containers than individually defined geometries. This is probably why the software states that these cylinders should be parallel, because projection error is likely to occur otherwise.
