Hi Adam,

 

Big thanks for fast and prompt response.

I need edge coordinates to use their 3d coordinates to guide CNC plasma pipe cutting machine.

 

I am attaching picture to show what I think that outer edges are.

You can see my G+ album to check java code for rotating "pipe" gotten from inventor coordinates.

The coordinates are also from "inner" edges that I don't want to use for guiding plasma CNC.

Especially check video:

and

sample of plasma cutting in action from youtube:

The edges that are important for cutting (since I don't want to take account for bevel cutting) are edges that are on outer surface of pipe.

 

regards!
