mesh_thicken

compas.datastructures.mesh_thicken(mesh, thickness=1.0, both=True)[source]

Thicken a mesh.

Parameters:

meshcompas.datastructures.Mesh: A mesh to thicken.
thicknessfloat, optional: The mesh thickness. This should be a positive value.
bothbool, optional: If true, the mesh is thickened on both sides of the original. Otherwise, the mesh is thickened on the side of the positive normal.

Returns:

compas.datastructures.Mesh: The thickened mesh.

Raises:

ValueError: If thickness is not a positive number.

Examples

>>> from compas.datastructures import Mesh, mesh_thicken
>>> from compas.geometry import distance_point_point as dist
>>> mesh = Mesh.from_vertices_and_faces([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0]], [[0, 1, 2, 3]])
>>> thick = mesh_thicken(mesh)
>>> thick.is_closed()
True
