ConstructionPlaneTangentDefinition Object

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

Description

ConstructionPlaneTangentDefinition defines a ConstructionPlane tangent to a cylindrical or conical face at a point.

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 Value object that for a transient definition provides the current assigned value. For a definition associated with a construction plane, it provides access to the associated parameter controlling 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.
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.
tangentFace Gets the cylindrical or conical face that the construction plane is tangent to.
