TransientBRep.CreateSolidCylinderCone Method

Parent Object: TransientBRep

Description

Method that create a solid cylinder or cone.

Remarks

To create a circular cylinder or cone use the same values for the BottomMajorRadius and BottomMinorRadius arguments. To create an elliptical cylinder or cone use two different values. To create a cylinder use the same values for the BottomMajorRadius and TopMajorRadius. To create a cone use different values. When creating elliptical cones or cylinders the orientation of the major axis is defined by the MajorAxisPosition argument. . All values are in centimeters The SurfaceBody containing the cylinder or cone is returned.

Syntax

TransientBRep.CreateSolidCylinderCone( BottomPoint As Point, TopPoint As Point, BottomMajorRadius As Double, BottomMinorRadius As Double, TopMajorRadius As Double, [MajorAxisPosition] As Variant ) As SurfaceBody

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
BottomPoint	Point	Input Point that defines the center of the bottom of the cylinder or cone.
TopPoint	Point	Input Point that defines the center of the top of the cylinder or cone.
BottomMajorRadius	Double	Input Double that defines the major axis radius at the bottom of an elliptical cylinder or cone or the radius at the bottom of a circular cylinder or cone.
BottomMinorRadius	Double	Input Double that define the minor axis radius at the bottom of an elliptical cylinder or cone. For a circular cylinder or cone this value should be the same at the BottomMajorRadius argument.
TopMajorRadius	Double	Input Double that specifies the radius at the top of the cylinder or cone. In the case of an elliptical cylinder or cone this is the radius of the major axis.
MajorAxisPosition	Variant	Optional input Point that specifies the orientation of the major axis. This is only needed in the case of an elliptical cylinder or cone. If not provided the major axis is determined based on the model coordinate system. This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
