Description

Creates the hard part zone by duplicating and trimming the vehicle outer components with test zone boundaries.

Inputs

entity_type: The type of entity for the vehicle outer. Must be set to comps.
mark_id: The ID of the mark of vehicle outer components. Valid values are 1 and 2.
double_array: The double array ID that contains the 3D coordinates of the vertices defining the test zone. The double array is created using the *createdoublearray command. This should always be set to 1.
number_of_doubles: Integer indicating the size (number of doubles) in the double array created using *createdoublearray. This should be 3 times the number of spheres.
vector_id: The ID of a vector created using the *createvector command. This vector defines the perpendicular direction of the test zone, used to search elements within the test zone up to the search_distance. Valid values are 1 and 2.
search_distance: The perpendicular distance from the test zone boundary used to select elements from the vehicle outer components.
