ConstructionPlaneInput.setByTangent Method

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

Description

This input method is for creating a construction plane tangent to a cylindrical or conical face at a specified point. This can result in a parametric or non-parametric construction plane depending on whether the parent component is parametric or is a direct edit component.

Syntax

"constructionPlaneInput_var" is a variable referencing a ConstructionPlaneInput object.
returnValue = constructionPlaneInput_var.setByTangent(tangentFace, angle, planarEntity)
"constructionPlaneInput_var" is a variable referencing a ConstructionPlaneInput object.

#include <Fusion/Construction/ConstructionPlaneInput.h>

returnValue = constructionPlaneInput_var->setByTangent(tangentFace, angle, planarEntity);

Return Value

Type Description
boolean Returns true if the creation of the ConstructionPlaneInput is successful

Parameters

Name Type Description
tangentFace BRepFace A cylindrical or conical face to create the plane tangent to
angle ValueInput The angle relative to the planarEntity input at which to create the tangent plane
planarEntity Base The planar face or construction plane the tangent is measured from.

Samples

Name Description
Construction Plane API Sample Demonstrates creating construction plane by different ways.
