I'm trying to create a chamfer feature using a distance-angle approach (like in SolidWorks), but the results are not as expected. Below is my code for drawing and updating the chamfer line. Any guidance on what might be wrong or how to correct it would be appreciated.
JAVASCRIPTfunction drawChamferLineWithDegree(angle, distance) { const store = window.myApp._context.provides.store; const sketchBody = store.getters.getSelectedSketches[0]; const selectedObjects = store.getters.getSelectedObjects; const data = {}; data.intersectPoint = calculateIntersection(selectedObjects); const firstClick = selectedObjects[0].userData.selectCoordinates; const secondClick = selectedObjects[1].userData.selectCoordinates; const intersectPoint = calculateIntersection(selectedObjects); const firstDirection = firstClick.clone().sub(intersectPoint).normalize(); const secondDirection = secondClick.clone().sub(intersectPoint).normalize(); const clicksNormal = [firstClick.clone().sub(intersectPoint).normalize(), secondClick.clone().sub(intersectPoint).normalize()]; const isClockwise = clicksNormal[0].dot(clicksNormal[1]).z < 0; const angleInRadians = MathUtils.degToRad(isClockwise ? angle : -angle); const rotatedFirstDirection = new Vector3( firstDirection.x * Math.cos(angleInRadians) - firstDirection.y * Math.sin(angleInRadians), firstDirection.x * Math.sin(angleInRadians) + firstDirection.y * Math.cos(angleInRadians), 0 ).normalize(); const rotatedSecondDirection = new Vector3( secondDirection.x * Math.cos(angleInRadians) - secondDirection.y * Math.sin(angleInRadians), secondDirection.x * Math.sin(angleInRadians) + secondDirection.y * Math.cos(angleInRadians), 0 ).normalize(); const startPoint = intersectPoint.clone().add(rotatedFirstDirection.multiplyScalar(distance)); const endPoint = intersectPoint.clone().add(rotatedSecondDirection.multiplyScalar(distance)); const chamferLine = constructorLine([startPoint, endPoint]); chamferLine.material.color.set(0xff0000); chamferLine.userData.distance = distance; chamferLine.userData.intersectPoint = data.intersectPoint; chamferLine.userData.directions = { firstDirection, secondDirection }; chamferLine.userData.localPoints = [startPoint, endPoint]; chamferLine.userData.points = [startPoint, endPoint]; store.commit('setSelectedObjects', [...selectedObjects, chamferLine]); sketchBody.add(chamferLine); } function updateChamferGroupWithDegree(selectedLines, chamferLine, angle, distance) { const intersectPoint = chamferLine.userData.intersectPoint.clone(); const { firstDirection, secondDirection } = chamferLine.userData; const angleInRadians = MathUtils.degToRad(angle); const rotatedFirstDirection = new Vector3( firstDirection.x * Math.cos(angleInRadians) - firstDirection.y * Math.sin(angleInRadians), firstDirection.x * Math.sin(angleInRadians) + firstDirection.y * Math.cos(angleInRadians), 0 ).normalize(); const rotatedSecondDirection = new Vector3( secondDirection.x * Math.cos(angleInRadians) - secondDirection.y * Math.sin(angleInRadians), secondDirection.x * Math.sin(angleInRadians) + secondDirection.y * Math.cos(angleInRadians), 0 ).normalize(); const firstChamferPoint = intersectPoint.clone().add(rotatedFirstDirection.multiplyScalar(distance)); const secondChamferPoint = intersectPoint.clone().add(rotatedSecondDirection.multiplyScalar(distance)); chamferLine.geometry.setFromPoints([firstChamferPoint, secondChamferPoint]); const firstLineIndex = selectedLines.value[0].userData.dinamic.i; const secondLineIndex = selectedLines.value[1].userData.dinamic.i; selectedLines.value[0].userData.dinamic.points[firstLineIndex].copy(firstChamferPoint); selectedLines.value[1].userData.dinamic.points[secondLineIndex].copy(secondChamferPoint); selectedLines.value[0].geometry.setFromPoints(selectedLines.value[0].userData.dinamic.points); selectedLines.value[1].geometry.setFromPoints(selectedLines.value[1].userData.dinamic.points); if (selectedLines.value[0].children[firstLineIndex]) { selectedLines.value[0].children[firstLineIndex].geometry.setFromPoints([firstChamferPoint]); } if (selectedLines.value[1].children[secondLineIndex]) { selectedLines.value[1].children[secondLineIndex].geometry.setFromPoints([secondChamferPoint]); } }

Looking at your code for implementing a chamfer feature using a distance-angle approach, I can identify a few potential issues that might be causing unexpected results.
Your approach to rotating the direction vectors seems to have some issues. When you're rotating both direction vectors by the same angle, it doesn't correctly create a chamfer with the expected angle between the original lines.
JAVASCRIPT// Current rotation approach const rotatedFirstDirection = new Vector3( firstDirection.x * Math.cos(angleInRadians) - firstDirection.y * Math.sin(angleInRadians), firstDirection.x * Math.sin(angleInRadians) + firstDirection.y * Math.cos(angleInRadians), 0 ).normalize();
For a chamfer, you typically want to move a specific distance along each original line from the intersection point.
The clockwise detection logic might not be working correctly:
JAVASCRIPTconst isClockwise = clicksNormal[0].dot(clicksNormal[1]).z < 0;
The dot product returns a scalar, not a vector, so .z
would be undefined. You might want to use the cross product instead to determine orientation.
For a distance-angle chamfer, the angle typically refers to the angle of the chamfer line itself, not the rotation angle to apply to the direction vectors.
Here's a revised approach for the drawChamferLineWithDegree
function:
JAVASCRIPTfunction drawChamferLineWithDegree(angle, distance) { const store = window.myApp._context.provides.store; const sketchBody = store.getters.getSelectedSketches[0]; const selectedObjects = store.getters.getSelectedObjects; // Calculate intersection point const intersectPoint = calculateIntersection(selectedObjects); // Get direction vectors from intersection to selection points const firstClick = selectedObjects[0].userData.selectCoordinates; const secondClick = selectedObjects[1].userData.selectCoordinates; const firstDirection = firstClick.clone().sub(intersectPoint).normalize(); const secondDirection = secondClick.clone().sub(intersectPoint).normalize(); // Calculate the angle between the two lines const lineAngle = Math.acos(firstDirection.dot(secondDirection)); // Calculate the distance to move along each line // For a chamfer with a specific angle, we need to calculate the distances const angleInRadians = MathUtils.degToRad(angle); const distanceAlongLine = distance / Math.sin(angleInRadians); // Calculate chamfer points const startPoint = intersectPoint.clone().add(firstDirection.clone().multiplyScalar(distanceAlongLine)); const endPoint = intersectPoint.clone().add(secondDirection.clone().multiplyScalar(distanceAlongLine)); // Create chamfer line const chamferLine = constructorLine([startPoint, endPoint]); chamferLine.material.color.set(0xff0000); chamferLine.userData.distance = distance; chamferLine.userData.angle = angle; chamferLine.userData.intersectPoint = intersectPoint; chamferLine.userData.directions = { firstDirection, secondDirection }; chamferLine.userData.localPoints = [startPoint, endPoint]; chamferLine.userData.points = [startPoint, endPoint]; store.commit('setSelectedObjects', [...selectedObjects, chamferLine]); sketchBody.add(chamferLine); }
And for the update function:
JAVASCRIPTfunction updateChamferGroupWithDegree(selectedLines, chamferLine, angle, distance) { const intersectPoint = chamferLine.userData.intersectPoint.clone(); const { firstDirection, secondDirection } = chamferLine.userData; // Calculate the angle between the two lines const lineAngle = Math.acos(firstDirection.dot(secondDirection)); // Calculate the distance to move along each line const angleInRadians = MathUtils.degToRad(angle); const distanceAlongLine = distance / Math.sin(angleInRadians); // Calculate chamfer points const firstChamferPoint = intersectPoint.clone().add(firstDirection.clone().multiplyScalar(distanceAlongLine)); const secondChamferPoint = intersectPoint.clone().add(secondDirection.clone().multiplyScalar(distanceAlongLine)); // Update chamfer line chamferLine.geometry.setFromPoints([firstChamferPoint, secondChamferPoint]); // Update original lines const firstLineIndex = selectedLines.value[0].userData.dinamic.i; const secondLineIndex = selectedLines.value[1].userData.dinamic.i; selectedLines.value[0].userData.dinamic.points[firstLineIndex].copy(firstChamferPoint); selectedLines.value[1].userData.dinamic.points[secondLineIndex].copy(secondChamferPoint); selectedLines.value[0].geometry.setFromPoints(selectedLines.value[0].userData.dinamic.points); selectedLines.value[1].geometry.setFromPoints(selectedLines.value[1].userData.dinamic.points); // Update children if they exist if (selectedLines.value[0].children[firstLineIndex]) { selectedLines.value[0].children[firstLineIndex].geometry.setFromPoints([firstChamferPoint]); } if (selectedLines.value[1].children[secondLineIndex]) { selectedLines.value[1].children[secondLineIndex].geometry.setFromPoints([secondChamferPoint]); } }
This approach calculates the distance to move along each original line based on the desired chamfer angle and distance, which should give you a more accurate chamfer feature.
Note that this is a simplified approach and might need adjustments based on your specific requirements and coordinate system.
