pub fn sew_within(
model: &mut Model,
faces: &[Shape],
gap: f64,
tol: Tolerances,
) -> OgeomResult<Sewn>Expand description
Sew faces whose edges meet across a gap of up to gap.
As sew, with two edges taken for one where their ends and middle
lie within gap of each other rather than within the confusion
distance: surfaces built apart (an imported sheet, a fitted fill beside
an exact extrusion) meet a few micrometres apart. The edge kept, and the
vertices it ends on, widen their tolerances to reach the edge they
replace, as healing does, so the shell checks clean. An edge that runs
along two or more shorter edges of other faces is first split where
their vertices meet it within gap, so each piece has a twin.
The widening is done in place on the given faces’ own edges and
vertices; only what they share with other shapes is copied first. The
faces given therefore carry the wider tolerances afterwards, and a later
sew of the same faces joins what this one joined. To keep the faces
as they were, sew a copy of them.
