 # 3D-EdgeAngle Generator (3dea-gen)
 
-The scripts provided here are used to automatically create cross-sections on a 3D model with previously manually defined curve(s) (digitalisation of the edge, e.g. active edge of a lithic). Furthermore, with different approaches, the edge angles are automatically calculated on the cross-sections, which allows an analysis of the edge. The results are csv files for each profile containing the edge angle values of the different approaches.
-These scripts are part of the project 3D-EdgeAngle – A semi-automated 3D digital method to quantify stone tool edge angle and design.

 ## software
 
-The scripts were created for the software **GOM Insprect Professional 2016**. The scripts must be executed within this software environment. A detailed description of the methods used can be found here (not yet published): [![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/xxx.svg)](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.xxx)

 ## data
 
-To use the scripts you need a 3D model in stl-file format and a digitized edge on the 3D model in iges-file format.

 ## python scripts
 
-For the naming of the data specifications have been made, which are defined in the scripts by "regular expressions" (regex). These defaults can be adjusted. The variables for this are defined in the scripts with "pattern_".
