amarcon Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Lee Mac, brilliant, you interpreted corectly, this is what I was after. Thanks for another generous contribution. I'm off to dissect your code and learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You're entirely welcome amarcon - if you have any questions about the algorithm I have implemented in the program, just ask and I'll do my best to explain my methodology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarcon Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Lee, Was using your routine in 'real world' today and discovered an abnormality with the results. Have attached info for you to see. With regular 'dummy' testing I have got good results. This one perplexes me You have any thoughts why it gets funny results? polyarea_query.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko_ribar Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) amarcon, test it now on this dwg - with my hatches (all outer panels have to have hatch, and the one that have openings must not have hatch as also openings shouldn't have hatch)... Test it with my code... M.R. polyarea-panels.zip Edited July 20, 2012 by marko_ribar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi amarcon, Looking at your drawing, I don't think my program is suited to your task, since the ray-casting algorithm is likely to return anomalous results if the ray intersects paralell to an edge of another polyline.

amarcon Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Lee, Thanks for your efforts. The example was not 'the norm' but it was good to find that there are limitations with your ray-casting algorithm. With 90% of other projects they are all rectangles and your routine seems to work fine. It's just a matter of horses for courses.... lol..... I know I can use it confidently knowing this issue. M.R. Thank you for your routine, also looks a very useful tool. It seems to give good results on the test. However, even with my single click hatch routine it can be cumbersome to hatch 200 panels and not hatch 10-20 that have openings. Any chance your routine could work opposite? Meaning just hatch the 'openings' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
