FlatPatternComponent.findBRepUsingPoint Method

Syntax

Python
C++

"flatPatternComponent_var" is a variable referencing a FlatPatternComponent object.

# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = flatPatternComponent_var.findBRepUsingPoint(point, entityType)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = flatPatternComponent_var.findBRepUsingPoint(point, entityType, proximityTolerance, visibleEntitiesOnly)

"flatPatternComponent_var" is a variable referencing a FlatPatternComponent object.

#include <Fusion/SheetMetal/FlatPatternComponent.h>

// Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = flatPatternComponent_var->findBRepUsingPoint(point, entityType);

// Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = flatPatternComponent_var->findBRepUsingPoint(point, entityType, proximityTolerance, visibleEntitiesOnly);

Parameters

point

Point3D

Input coordinate that specifies the component space point at which to find the entities.

entityType

BRepEntityTypes

The type of B-Rep entity wanted. You can also take advantage of B-Rep topology to infer other that other entities were found. For example, If you get a BRepEdge it implies that the faces the edge connects were also found. If a BRepVertex is returned it implies the edges that the vertex connects were found and the faces that the edges connect were found.

proximityTolerance

double

Specifies the tolerance for the search. All entities within this distance from the search point that match the filter will be returned. If not specified a default tolerance is used.

This is an optional argument whose default value is -1.0.

visibleEntitiesOnly

boolean

indicates whether or not invisible objects should be included in the search. Defaults to True indicating that invisible objects will be ignored.

This is an optional argument whose default value is True.

Type	Description
ObjectCollection	Returns an ObjectCollection containing the entities found. The returned collection can be empty indicating nothing was found.
