GDnTExtend
GDnTExtend represents the extent over which a GD&T tolerance zone applies. The model captures the numerical value with its unit and size type, an optional tolerance, the number of instances, and an optional angle. Having this data structured separately allows downstream tolerance analysis tools to apply the correct envelope when simulating assembly conditions. It also helps inspection planning software determine when additional gauges or measurement distances are required. Use this object to interpret complex GD&T callouts accurately, especially when the drawing specifies requirements that differ from default ISO or ASME rules or when supplier-specific conventions must be honored.
