origin - is a 3*1 matrix with x,y,z positions corresponding to the point where the first lamella will be drawn.

...

lamina_i+4 - Enters the command "offset" into AutoCad. The offset function is used to move the selected object a specified distance from its original location.

lamina_i+5 - Enters The command 'stringit' turns the the variable "t" into AutoCada dimensionless number and cuts the number off after 5 decimal points. t represents the distance that the selected object is to be offset. The command 'stringit' turns the the variable "t" into a dimensionless number.

lamina_i+6 - Uses the 'point' function to turn the 3*1 matrix 'origin' into a text format that AutoCad can read.

...

lamina_i+8 - Uses the 'concat' function to create a character string out of a space, the AutoCad command "line," a space, the character string created in line₀, and a space. The purpose of the character string is to create a line in AutoCad between the two points specified pointsin line₀.

lamina_i+9 - Uses the 'concat' function to create a character string out of a the AutoCad command "line," a space, the character string created in line₁ and a space. The purpose of the character string is to create a line in AutoCad between the two points specified in line₁.

lamina_i+10 - Uses the 'concat' function to create a character string out of the AutoCad command "z e region w," a space, a point described below, a space, the second point described below and a space. The purpose of the character string is to create a region based on the two points specified.

...

lamina_i+15 - Enters "" into the command line if the condition in lamina_i+14 is not forfilled.

lamina_i+16 -
