PK_ERROR_code_t PK_BODY_offset_2 ( --- received arguments --- PK_BODY_t body, double offset, --- offset for each face double tolerance, --- tolerance const PK_BODY_offset_o_t *options, --- options --- returned arguments --- PK_TOPOL_track_r_t *const tracking, --- tracking information PK_TOPOL_local_r_t *const results --- status information ) This function offsets faces of a solid or sheet body. NOTE : This function supersedes PK_BODY_offset. Specific Errors: PK_ERROR_bad_tolerance proposed edge tolerance is too small PK_ERROR_unsuitable_entity body is not a sheet or solid body Introduction The body is returned with all or some faces offset. A positive offset indicates an offset outwards (i.e. in the direction of the face normal) and a negative offset an offset inwards. The default offset to be applied is given in the offset argument. Under some circumstances the function may need to replace exact geometry by tolerant geometry. For instance, in the case of a sheet body some edge geometry at the boundary may have to be approximated by SP curves in order to generate a boundary curve on the offset sheet. In all such situations the new geometry will have a tolerance less than or equal to the tolerance supplied through the tolerance argument. User options The PK_BODY_offset_o_t structure contains user control options. See its documentation for details. Tracking The PK_TOPOL_track_t structure contains topology tracking information on the operation. In the case of this function, only tracking information records of the type PK_TOPOL_track_derive_c may be returned, if faces have been split or merged during the operation. Error handling If this function returns PK_ERROR_no_errors, the result of the operation will be indicated by the value of the status field of the results structure. When this value is not PK_local_status_ok_c or PK_local_status_nocheck_c, it indicates an operation failure and an array of entities involved in this failure is returned through the field error_entities of the results structure, when possible. For more information regarding the failure status code and the error_entities, refer to the PK documentation of the PK_TOPOL_local_r_t structure.
