Stand 3DSTAND-001

Sweeps the closed section profile around the axis planes into the solid tier bodies. This is the raw stand — cuts and openings are applied later by Stand 3D Plus.

Inputs

  • Handrail SectionsRailsBarrier section curves from Section Plus. Wire them to build barriers as solids
  • Stand SectionsSSDThe tier sections to sweep. Wire from Stand 2D, or from Section Plus
  • AxisAxisThe axis system, passed along the chain. Wire from Stand 2D
  • Generate BrepBrepBuild the stand solids. Off = fast wireframe-only check (default true)
  • Generate HandrailHandrailBuild the barriers as solids too. Needs Handrail Sections wired (default false)
  • Panel ValuesPanelEvery value from Input Panel, as one bundle. Anything you wire in yourself wins over it

Outputs

  • Stand BodySBDThe raw tier solids as one object. Cuts and openings are subtracted from this
  • Stand GeometryBodiesThe tier bodies as separate solids, one per tier
  • Handrail GeometryRails 3DThe barriers as solids, one per tier. Empty unless Generate Handrail is on
  • Section ProfilesProfileThe closed profile as actually placed on each axis plane - check here when a sweep looks wrong
  • DebugDebugDeveloper diagnostic output for tracking down bugs. Copy this when reporting a problem
