Interface BoundaryDefinitionBuilder

All Superinterfaces:

IComponentBuilder, Remote, TaggedObject

public interface BoundaryDefinitionBuilder
extends TaggedObject, IComponentBuilder

Represents a BoundaryDefinitionBuilder . A boundary definition is a collection of ordered points which can be imagined to be connected by a polyline indicating a boundary. Any point in the collection can be marked as a key point. Marking some points as key points helps to delete part of the boundary efficiently. All the points in a boundary definition are co-planar. A depth value can be specified to define a 3D boundary equivalent to an extrusion.
