*create_thin_solid_midline
Constructs midline of a section cut through selected solids.
Syntax
*create_thin_solid_midline solid_mark=<mark_id> ?<option1>=<value1>? ?<option2>=<value2>? ... ?<optionN>=<valueN>?

Description
Constructs midline of a section cut through selected solids. The section cut plane can be defined using one of the following methods: by three nodes/points/sets of coordinates, by four nodes/points/sets of coordinates defining the corners of a finite rectangle or by two sets of coordinates defining the base point and the normal vector of an infinite plane.
Inputs
- solid_mark=<mark_id>
- The ID of the mark containing the solids. Valid values are 1 and 2. Non-thin solids will be ignored.
- node_mark=<mark_id>
- The ID of the mark containing the nodes defining the cutting plane. The mark should contain 3 or 4 nodes. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- point_mark=<mark_id>
- The ID of the mark containing the points defining the cutting plane. The mark should contain 3 or 4 points. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- plane_by_point_coords={<value>}
- The value should be a list of coordinates that determine the infinite or finite cutting plane. The array should contain 9 real numbers (3 sets of xyz coordinates) or 12 numbers (4 sets of xyz coordinates).
- plane_base={<value>}
- The list containing coordinates of the base point defining the infinite cutting plane.
- plane_normal=<value>
- The list containing coordinates of the normal vector defining the infinite cutting plane.
- dest_comp=<value>
- This option specifies which component the midlines will be created in:
