Breps

Brep

Tree

Planar breps representing the result of the evaluation.
Breps in branch { j, k } correspond to curve j and station k.
Brep at list index i refers to section face i

Points

Point

Tree

Points extracted from the section at specified stations.
Points in branch { j, k } correspond to curve j and station k.
Point at list index i refers to extraction point i

Planes

Plane

Tree

Planes representing coordinate frames at specified stations.
If “Align To Placement” is true outgoing planes are aligned according to placement orientations, otherwise they are aligned along the curve frames at the specified stations.
Plane in branch { j, k } corresponds to curve j and station k.
