Cylinder Object

Derived from: Surface Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/Cylinder.h>

Description

Transient cylinder. A transient cylinder is not displayed or saved in a document. A transient cylinder is but is used as a wrapper to work with raw cylinder information. A transient cylinder has no boundaries and is infinite in length. They are created statically using the create method of the Cylinder class.

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().
copy	Creates and returns an independent copy of this Cylinder object.
create	Creates a transient cylinder object.
getData	Gets the data that defines the cylinder.
set	Sets the data that defines the cylinder.
transformBy	Updates this surface by transforming it with a given input matrix.

Properties

Name	Description
axis	The center axis (along the length) of the cylinder that defines its normal direction.
evaluator	Returns the surface evaluator.
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():
origin	The origin point (center) of the base of the cylinder.
radius	The radius of the cylinder.
surfaceType	Returns the surface type.
