Component.createOpenProfile Method

Syntax

Python
C++

"component_var" is a variable referencing a Component object.

# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = component_var.createOpenProfile(curves)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = component_var.createOpenProfile(curves, chainCurves)

"component_var" is a variable referencing a Component object.

#include <Fusion/Components/Component.h>

// Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = component_var->createOpenProfile(curves);

// Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = component_var->createOpenProfile(curves, chainCurves);

Parameters

curves

Base

A SketchCurve or an ObjectCollection containing multiple sketch entities. If a single sketch curve is input the chainCurves argument is checked to determine if connected curves (they do not need to be tangent) should be automatically found. If multiple curves are provided the chainCurves argument is always treated as false so you must provide all of the curves in the object collection that you want included in the profile. The provided curves must all connect together in a single path.

The input curves do not need to be in the same sketch, but they do need to geometrically connect for a valid profile to be created.

chainCurves

boolean

If true, this finds any curves within the same sketch that connect to the single input curve and automatically includes them in the profile. If false, only the curves provided will be used to define the profile. This argument is ignored and treated as false if multiple curves are input.

This is an optional argument whose default value is True.

Type	Description
Profile	Returns the new Profile object or null in the case of a failure.
