Synopsis
A PlanarProfile is planar region enclosed within an outer boundary curve, and may have inner "hole" boundaries. It is typically used to form profiles for extruding, revolving, or sweeping. Although most designs which require a profile can simply take a set of curves defining the profile, PlanarProfile is the only Design that allows holes to be created within the profile. PlanarProfile also allows a greater variety of creation methods, such as planar sections through solids.

Canonicals
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| curves | list | A list of curves forming the outer boundary of the profile. |
| holes | list | A list of lists of curves, with each sub-list forming the boundary of a hole in the profile. Holes are subtracted from the region formed by the outer boundary, so they may cross the outer boundary. |
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| solid | part | A solid to be intersected by a plane to define a profile. |
| plane | part | A plane Part defining the sectioning plane. |
| planePoint | point | A point defining a plane as an alternative to providing a plane. |
| planeNormal | vector | A normal for a plane as an alternative to providing a plane. |
Group Rules
<solid_plane (solid Plane)> If solid and plane are provided, then the profile is defined by the intersection of the plane and the solid.
<solid_planePoint_planeNormal (solid planePoint planeNormal)> An alternative to providing a plane is to provide the plane definition point and normal.
