FormUtils.DissolveForms

Description:
Dissolves a collection of form elements into their defining elements.

Remarks:
Bonding points define the workplane of form profiles and paths and their curves. The bonding point represents a coordinate system with an origin (reference point) which can be manipulated to move the curves of a profile together as a unit after dissolve. Bonding points may themselves be constrained to other parts of the model or parts of the form, based on how the form was created/constructed. This is done through the reference point hosting mechanism.

elements

A collection of element IDs of Forms and GeomCombinations that contain Forms that will be dissolved.
