Advanced profile intersection (K=1)
When selecting this type, the following profile intersecting rules are to be followed:
1. The initial point of each contour determines the section to be selected.
In a profile intersection, each contour is divided into several lines that could be grouped as:
Lines external to the other contour.
Lines internal to the other contour.
This type of profile intersection selects in each contour the group of lines where the profile
defining point is included.
The following example shows the explained selection process. The solid lines indicate the lines
external to the other contour and the dashes indicate the internal lines. The initial point of each
contour is indicated with an "x".
Examples of profile intersections:
