Arc3D.createByCenter Method

Parent Object: Arc3D
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/Arc3D.h>

Description

Creates a transient 3D arc object by specifying a center point and radius.

This is a static method.


returnValue = adsk.core.Arc3D.createByCenter(center, normal, referenceVector, radius, startAngle, endAngle)

This is a static method.


#include <Core/Geometry/Arc3D.h>

returnValue = adsk::core::Arc3D::createByCenter(center, normal, referenceVector, radius, startAngle, endAngle);

Type	Description
Arc3D	Returns the newly created arc or null if the creation failed.

Name	Type	Description
center	Point3D	The center point of the arc.
normal	Vector3D	The normal vector of the arc. The plane perpendicular to this normal at the center point is the plane of the arc.
referenceVector	Vector3D	A reference vector from which the start and end angles are measured from. This vector must be perpendicular to the normal vector.
radius	double	The radius of the arc.
startAngle	double	The start angle in radians. This angle is measured from the reference vector using the right hand rule around the normal vector.
endAngle	double	The end angle in radians. This angle is measured from the reference vector using the right hand rule around the normal vector.
