NOTE Solids that overlap each other (share some common volume) produce
dangling edges if you request hidden-line removal. This happens because the
edges must be broken at the point where they enter another solid to separate
them into visible and hidden portions. You can eliminate dangling edges by
combining the overlapping solids (using UNION) before generating a profile.
Yes Creates the profile lines with 2D objects.
The 3D profile is projected onto a plane normal to the viewing direction and
passing through the origin of the UCS. SOLPROF cleans up the 2D profile by
eliminating lines that are parallel to the viewing direction and by converting
arcs and circles that are viewed on edge into lines.
No Creates the profile lines with 3D objects.
The next prompt determines whether tangential edges are displayed. A
tangential edge is the transition line between two tangent faces. It's the
imaginary edge at which two faces meet and are tangent. For example, if you
fillet the edge of a box, tangential edges are created where the cylindrical face
of the fillet blends into the planar faces of the box. Tangential edges are not
shown for most drafting applications.
