Description
PointFromElements
is a BoundaryConstructor, used as the
constructor
argument of the OOF.Skeleton.Boundary.Construct command when
building Skeleton
boundaries.
It creates Point
Boundaries from the currently selected Skeleton
Elements
or from a group of
Elements
. The Elements
are specified by the
group
parameter, which must be either the name
of a Element
group or the special placeholder object,
selection
. The boundary is constructed
from the Nodes
at the vertices of every Element
in the
group
, whether or not they're on the exterior
of the set, as shown in Figure 6.89.
Like when constructing an
edge boundary from Elements
, and unlike when
constructing a
point boundary from Segments
, only the points on the exterior of
the set of elements are included in the boundary.
