Example 1

Child Line_1 As :Line
    thruPoint1 = Point(0,0,0)
    thruPoint2 = Point(2,0,0)
End Child

Child Line_2 As :Line
    thruPoint1 = Point(2,0,0)
    thruPoint2 = Point(1,2,0)

End Child

Child Line_3 As :Line
    thruPoint1 = Point(1,2,0)
    thruPoint2 = Point(0,0,0)

End Child

Intent >chainProfile({Line_1, Line_2, Line_3}, 0.001)
--> {{Root.Document_1.Root.Line_1, Root.Document_1.Root.Line_2, Root.Document_1.Root.Line_3}, {True, True, True}, True}

Example 2

Child Line_4 As :Line
    thruPoint1 = Point(10,10,0)
    thruPoint2 = Point(12,10,0)
End Child

Child Line_5 As :Line
    thruPoint1 = Point(12,10,0)
    thruPoint2 = Point(10.75,12,0)

End Child

Child Line_6 As :Line
    thruPoint1 = Point(11.25,12,0)
    thruPoint2 = Point(10,10,0)

End Child
