Component:Advanced Covering
From DocR19
The Advanced Covering Component packages powerful Deformable Modeling technology into a clear and simple high-level interface. With Advanced Covering, you can put a face over a loop in a way that meets your constraints. The algorithm deforms an initial surface (a plane by default) until it lies on the loop you specify. Advanced Covering can produce covers that are tangent to adjacent faces (G1 continuous) along the boundary.

Journaling and Versioning
Journaling and Versioning are available for Advanced Covering through the standard AcisOptions mechanism.
This page summarizes the interfaces for Advanced Covering.
C++ Interface
The Advanced Covering C++ interface includes several functions and three classes. The classes include: acovr_options, acovr_edge_constraint, and acovr_gap_report. The functions include: api_advanced_cover, (both overloaded APIs) and api_advanced_cover_no_stitch. The acovr_options object is used to define optional parameters that configure the covering problem.
The functions and classes are illustrated in Advanced Covering C++ Examples. Refer to the function and class reference templates for more information.
Scheme Interface
A Scheme interface is also supplied for learning and testing Advanced Covering in a Scheme environment, such as using Scheme AIDE. Refer to the Scheme Extensions Reference for more information.
