willofmaine Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) In VW 2011, it seems the Area of a Space Object created from a Polyline that has curved components is not accurate. If the curved Polyline is first converted to a Polygon before a Space Object is created from it, then the two do match. (The Polyline and Polygon themselves are understandably very slightly different due to the faceted sides of a Polygon's curve). See attached. I discovered this with VW 12.5 and submitted it as a bug while it persisted in 2008... Or maybe I'm missing something... Will Edited September 27, 2010 by willofmaine Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 This was solved in 2009 and 2010. So it's there again? That means that the space tool is useless for us! Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yep, did the test, It's not that bad as before 2009 where arcs were just draw with straigth lines between there control points. Now the arc is segmented, and this is very wrong. I still don't get why the don't use polylines instead of polygons? It's not that hard. What's the reason for this? Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Could these area error calculations be linked to the conversion resolution ? Quote Link to comment
