BRepCoEdge Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/BRep/BRepCoEdge.h>

Description

Represents the use of a BRepEdge by a BRepFace.

Methods

Name Description
classType Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType().
createForAssemblyContext Returns a proxy for the native object - i.e. a new object that represents this object but adds the assembly context defined by the input occurrence.

Properties

Name Description
assemblyContext Returns the assembly occurrence (i.e. the occurrence) of this object in an assembly. This is only valid in the case where this BRepCoEdge object is acting as a proxy in an assembly. Returns null in the case where the object is not in the context of an assembly. but is already the native object.
body Returns the body this co-edge is part of.
edge Returns the edge this co-edge is associated with.
entityToken Returns a token for the BRepCoEdge object. This can be saved and used at a later time with the Design.findEntityByToken method to get back the same co-edge.

When using entity tokens it's important to understand that the token string returned for a specific entity can be different over time. However, even if you have two different token strings that were obtained from the same entity, when you use findEntityByToken they will both return the same entity. Because of that you should never compare entity tokens as way to determine what the token represents. Instead, you need to use the findEntityByToken method to get the two entities identified by the tokens and then compare them.

This is only valid for co-edges that exist in the design, (the isTemporary property is false).
evaluator Returns a curve evaluator that can be used to perform geometric evaluations on the co-edge.
geometry Returns a geometry object that represents the shape of this co-edge in parameter space of the parent face's surface.
isOpposedToEdge Indicates if the orientation of this co-edge is in the same direction or opposed to its associated edge.
isParamReversed Returns if the parametric direction of this co-edge is reversed from the parametric direction of the underlying curve obtained from the geometry property. A co-edge's parametric direction is from the start vertex to the end vertex. But the underlying curve geometry may have the opposite parameterization. This property indicates if the parameterization order of the evaluator obtained from this co-edge is reversed from the order of the geometry curve's evaluator.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
loop Returns the loop this co-edge is part of.
nativeObject The NativeObject is the object outside the context of an assembly. Returns null in the case where this object is not in the context of an assembly but is already the native object.
next Returns the next co-edge in the loop.
objectType This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object.

It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType():
partner Returns the co-edge on the adjacent face
previous Returns the previous co-edge in the loop.
