FlatPatternComponent.createBRepEdgeProfile Method

Syntax

Python
C++

"flatPatternComponent_var" is a variable referencing a FlatPatternComponent object.

# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = flatPatternComponent_var.createBRepEdgeProfile(edges)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = flatPatternComponent_var.createBRepEdgeProfile(edges, chainEdges)

"flatPatternComponent_var" is a variable referencing a FlatPatternComponent object.

#include <Fusion/SheetMetal/FlatPatternComponent.h>

// Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = flatPatternComponent_var->createBRepEdgeProfile(edges);

// Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = flatPatternComponent_var->createBRepEdgeProfile(edges, chainEdges);

Parameters

edges

Base

A single BRepEdge object or an ObjectCollection containing multiple BRepEdge objects, or a BRepLoop object. If a single edge is input, the chainEdges argument is checked to determine if connected edges (they do not need to be tangent) should be automatically found. If multiple edges are provided the chainEdges argument is always treated as false so you must provide all of the edges in the object collection that you want included in the profile. and the edges must all connect together in a single path. if a BRepLoop object is provided, all of the edges in the loop are included in the profile and the chainEdges argument is ignored.

chainEdges

boolean

If true, this finds any edges that connect to the single input edge and automatically includes them in the profile. If false, only the edges provided will be used to define the profile. This argument is ignored and treated as false if multiple edges or a BRepLoop is input.

This is an optional argument whose default value is True.

Type	Description
Profile	Returns the new Profile object or null in the case of a failure.
