Mesh Boundaries
Mesh boundaries form along boundary edges. ScanTo3D can create boundary
curves only along boundary edges. Boundary edges are commonly found on
meshes that represent surfaces or have large holes in them.
|
To create a boundary edge, the mesh edge must have only one triangle
touching the edge for a given location. For
example, the triangles along the yellow edge are the only triangles touching
the mesh edge, so the yellow edge is a boundary edge. |

In this example, the red edge (called an inner edge) has
two triangles touching it. You cannot create a boundary curve along an
inner edge. |
