PK_ERROR_code_t PK_FACE_offset_2 ( --- received arguments --- int n_faces, --- number of faces > 0 const PK_FACE_t faces[], --- faces to offset const double offsets[], --- offset for each face double tolerance, --- tolerance const PK_FACE_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_FACE_offset. Specific Errors: PK_ERROR_cant_offset (SERIOUS) offsetting failure PK_ERROR_bad_tolerance (MILD) proposed edge tolerance is too small PK_ERROR_unsuitable_entity (MILD) body is not a sheet or solid body PK_ERROR_wrong_entity_in_array (MILD) given faces are not from same body Introduction Each face in faces is offset by the corresponding distance in offsets. A positive offset indicates an offset outwards (i.e. in the direction of the face normal) and a negative offset an offset inwards. 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_FACE_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.
