Status Codes in General

Status codes introduced in the following pages allow users to create segments and arcs in planar polylines using special constraints.

Planar polylines with status codes at nodes are the basis of many GDL elements:
POLY2_,
POLY2_A,
POLY2_B,
POLY2_B{2},
POLY2_B{3},
POLY2_B{4},
POLY2_B{5},
POLY_,
PLANE_,
PRISM_,
CPRISM_,
BPRISM_,
FPRISM_,
HPRISM_,
SPRISM_,
SLAB_,
CSLAB_,
CROOF_,
EXTRUDE,
PYRAMID,
REVOLVE,
SWEEP,
TUBE,
TUBEA

Status codes allow you:

  • to control the visibility of planar polyline edges

  • to define holes in the polyline

  • to control the visibility of side edges and surfaces

  • to create segments and arcs in the polyline
