Breps

Brep

Tree

Planar breps representing the result of the evaluation.
Breps in branch { j, k } correspond to curve j and station k.
Brep at list index i refers to section face i

Points

Select param type

Curve station

Defines stations along the entire axis based on curve parameter

Span station

Defines stations within the bridge spans as detected by “S” Placement Type. For example, the 1st span is reparameterized from 0 to 1, 2nd span from 1 to 2, and so on.
