\page create_filling_page Filling Surface with Edges
To generate a \b Filling in the <b>Main Menu</b> select <b>New Entity - > Generation - > Filling</b>
To create a curvilinear face from several edges you need to define the
following parameters:
\n <b>Input Compound</b> - the list of edges/wires used for creation
of the surface. To prepare for the filling each wire of the compound
is converted to an edge created on a BSpline curve built using curves
from all edges of the wire.
\n \b Minimum and <b>Maximum Degree</b> of equation of the resulting
BSpline or Besier curves describing the surface;
\n \b Tolerance for \b 2D and for \b 3D - minimum distance between the
created surface and the reference edge;
\n <b>Number of Iterations</b> - defines the maximum number of iterations. The
iterations are repeated until the required tolerance is reached. So, a
greater number of iterations allows producing a better surface.
\n <b>Method</b> - Kind of method to perform filling operation
1. Default - the standard behaviour.
2. Use edges orientation - the edges orientation is used: if an edge is
reversed, the curve from this edge is reversed before being used by the filling
algorithm.
3. Auto-correct edges orientation - curves orientation is changed to
minimize the sum of distances between ends points of edges.
\n <b>Approximation</b> - if checked, BSpline curves are generated in
the process of surface construction (using
GeomAPI_PointsToBSplineSurface functionality). By default the surface
is created using Besier curves. The usage of <b>Approximation</b>
slows the algorithm, but allows building the surface for complex cases.
\n The \b Result of the operation will be a GEOM_Object (face).
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeFilling(Edges, MinDegree, MaxDegree, Tol2D, Tol3D, NbIter)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 1 List of edges + 7 Parameters
(Min. degree, Max. degree, Number of iterations, 2D tolerance, 3D
tolerance, Number of iterations, Method, Approximation).
