JointGeometry.createByPlanarFace Method

Parent Object: JointGeometry
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Components/JointGeometry.h>

Description

Creates a new transient JointGeometry object based on a planar BRepFace object. A JointGeometry object can be used to create a joint or joint origin.

This is a static method.


returnValue = adsk.fusion.JointGeometry.createByPlanarFace(face, edge, keyPointType)

This is a static method.


#include <Fusion/Components/JointGeometry.h>

returnValue = adsk::fusion::JointGeometry::createByPlanarFace(face, edge, keyPointType);

Type	Description
JointGeometry	Returns the transient JointGeometry object that can be used to create a joint or joint origin or null in case of a failure.

Name	Type	Description
face	BRepFace	The planar BRepFace object
edge	BRepEdge	A BRepEdge edge object that is one of the edges of the specified face. This argument can be null in the case where the keyPointType is CenterKeypoint indicating the center of the face is to be used. When an edge is used, the keyPointType specifies the position along the edge for the keypoint.
keyPointType	JointKeyPointTypes	Specifies the position along the edge where the joint keypoint will be located. For open edges this can be StartKeyPoint, MiddleKeyPoint, or EndKeyPoint. For closed edges (i.e. circles), it must be CenterKeyPoint. When no edge is specified, it must be CenterKeyPoint indicating the center of area of the face is to be used.

Name	Description
Joint Origin Sample	Demonstrates creating a new Joint Origin.
Joint API Sample	Demonstrates creating a new joint.
