Stencil Rule House

The StencilScriptHouse class defines the necessary parameters to create a house structure around a stencil pad for solder paste applications. It is used for automating stencil generation and includes geometry, shape characteristics, and spacing considerations.

Properties

Property Type Description
Corner Radius (MM) double Corner radius for rounded elements in MM.
Offset to Center (MM) double Move houses to the center of the component.
Invert Direction bool For smaller elments sometimes the house should be show away from the component.
Undersize Value (MM) double All Elements will use this value in mm to generate undersize.
House distance cut size in Percent double Value in percent depending to the height of the pad.
Utilization House Area (%) double Utilization of avalable area in percent. This option will modify the cut size value to come near to the percent value. Use 0 to ignore this value.

These parameters help define the geometric and contextual constraints for automatically generating stencil pad protection using a house-shaped perimeter. The house rule is recommended for chip packages, but can be used for all pins with clear directions. 

Note: If the pin is under the body the direction cannot be calculated and no house is created.
