Examples

To mesh area connectors 1, 2, 3 using elements 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, with allowed distance 10.0, and projection direction (0.0, 1.0, 0.0):
*createmark connectors 1 1 2 3
*createmark elems 1 4 5 6 7 8
*createvector 1 0.0 1.0 0.0 
*CE_ConnectorAreaMapMesh 1 elems 1 1 10.0 0 

Meshed area connector displays as a plane with virtual elements.
