BRepBodyDefinition.createEdgeDefinitionByCurve Method

Parent Object: BRepBodyDefinition
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/BRep/BRepBodyDefinition.h>

Description

Using a curve in model space it creates a new BRepEdgeDefinition object that's associated with the body.

Syntax

"bRepBodyDefinition_var" is a variable referencing a BRepBodyDefinition object.
returnValue = bRepBodyDefinition_var.createEdgeDefinitionByCurve(startVertex, endVertex, modelSpaceCurve)
"bRepBodyDefinition_var" is a variable referencing a BRepBodyDefinition object.

#include <Fusion/BRep/BRepBodyDefinition.h>

returnValue = bRepBodyDefinition_var->createEdgeDefinitionByCurve(startVertex, endVertex, modelSpaceCurve);

Return Value

Type Description
BRepEdgeDefinition Returns the created BRepEdgeDefinition object or null in the case of failure.

Parameters

Name Type Description
startVertex BRepVertexDefinition Vertex definition that defines the start of the edge. For a closed curve, like a circle, you still need to provide a vertex on the curve but you should use the same BRepVertexDefinition for both the start and end vertices.
endVertex BRepVertexDefinition Vertex definition that defines the end of the edge. For a closed curve, like a circle, this should be the same vertex as used for the start vertex.
modelSpaceCurve Curve3D A Curve3D object that defines the shape of the edge using 3D geometry in model space. Valid input is an Arc3D, NurbsCurve3D, Circle3D, Ellipse3D, EllipticalArc3D, or Line3D.
