Surface ExtendFace/pl

Description
extrapolates an existing face or surface at its boundaries with its local U and V parameters.



Usage

 * 1) Make sure you have an object that has faces. The object could be created with the Workbench_Surface.svg Surface Workbench but it could also be any other object, for example, created with Workbench_Part.svg Part or Workbench_PartDesign.svg PartDesign.
 * 2) Select the face to extend by clicking on it on the 3D view.
 * 3) Press.

Options
This command doesn't have any options. Either it works with the selection or not.

Properties
A Surface Extend object ( class) is derived from the basic Part Feature ( class, through the subclass), therefore it shares all the latter's properties.

In addition to the properties described in Part Feature, the Surface Filling has the following properties in the property editor.

 * : it defaults to . The ratio of the local U parameter that will be extended in the positive direction.
 * : it defaults to, in which case and  will have the same value.


 * : it defaults to . The ratio of the local V that will be extended in the negative direction.
 * : it defaults to . The ratio of the local V direction that will be extended in the positive direction.

FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The Surface Extend tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by adding the object.
 * The face to extend must be assigned as a LinkSub to the property of the object. It must contain only a single face.
