Ellipse3D Object

Derived from: Curve3D Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/Ellipse3D.h>

Description

Transient 3D ellipse. A transient ellipse is n0t displayed or saved in a document. Transient 3D ellipses are used as a wrapper to work with raw 3D ellipse information. They are created statically using the create method of the Ellipse3D 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 a copy of this Ellipse3D object.
create Creates a transient 3D ellipse object.
getData Gets all of the data defining the ellipse.
set Sets all of the data defining the ellipse.
transformBy Transforms this curve in 3D space.

Properties

Name Description
asNurbsCurve Returns a NURBS curve that is geometrically identical to the ellipse.
center Gets and sets the center position of the ellipse.
curveType Returns the type of geometry this curve represents.
evaluator Returns an evaluator object that lets you perform additional evaluations on the curve.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
majorAxis Gets and sets the major axis of the ellipse.
majorRadius Gets and sets the major radius of the ellipse.
minorRadius Gets and sets the minor radius of the ellipse.
normal Gets the normal of the ellipse.
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():
