0 |
Plane |
The scan will stop after the probe crosses the plane at the end point the given number of times. |
1 |
Sphere |
The scan will stop after the probe crosses (breaks) the sphere at the end point the given number of times. |
2 |
Cylinder |
The scan will stop after the probe crosses (breaks) the cylinder at the end point the given number of times. The cylinder is considered infinite in length. |
3 |
Cone |
