ConstructionPlaneAtAngleDefinition Object

Derived from: ConstructionPlaneDefinition Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Construction/ConstructionPlaneAtAngleDefinition.h>

Description

ConstructionPlaneAtAngleDefinition defines a ConstructionPlane by an angle around a linear entity.

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().
redefine Redefines the input geometry of the construction plane.

Properties

Name Description
angle Returns a Parameter object that controls the value of the angle. You can use properties of the returned Parameter object to modify the angle.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
linearEntity Gets the linear edge, construction line, or sketch line that defines the axis of rotation for the construction plane.
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():
parentConstructionPlane Returns the ConstructionPlane object
planarEntity Gets the planar face or construction plane the angle for this construction plane is measured from and is parametrically dependent on.

This property is only valid for construction planes that were created using the API. When an angle construction plane is created using the user interface the plane is not defined by the user and a plane is automatically inferred by Fusion. In this case, this property will return null.
