Snowflake Designer - V1.0
Author: Keith Rule
EMail: Keith.D.Rule@email.hub.tek.com
This is a MS-Windows program that allows the creation of
3d models that look like snowflakes. These models can be
viewed, and then saved as DXF, or RAW files.
Many of the parameters that influence the creation of the
snowflake model can be changes by the user by selecting the
Options|Options... menu command, and then editing the
approprate parameters in the dialog box.
Command Summary:
File|New - Gets a new random seed and draws the new
snowflake.
File|Save As... - Allows the snowflake model to be saved as
either a 3d DXF file or a 3d RAW file.
File|Exit - Exits the program
File|About... - Displays the About dialog box.
Options|Options... - Displays the Options dialog box.
Seed: - This field displays the current random seed.
The default value is always 0.
Level: - The number of recursion levels used when creating
the snowflake model. Two levels is fine in most
cases.
Arms: - The number of arms in the snowflake. The values
1 - 10 are allowed
Sides: - The number of sides for each of the snowflake
solids (the values of 3 - 10 are allowed).
Z Depth:- Specifies the z thickness of an solid object
at each Level:. The thickness if calculated
as follows: (1.0 + ZDepth*Level)*Height*YZRatio/100.
A value of 0.0 makes all the levels the same
z depth.
Offset: - This value moves the objects out by the offset
value. This value is in screen coordinates.
X/Y Ratio-Makes the objects thinner or fatter.
Y/Z Ratio-Makes the objects thicker or thinner.
This program is freeware, and may be freely distributed.
Please send me any bug reports or suggested enhancements.
