JointGeometry.createByProfile 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.createByProfile(profile, sketchCurve, keyPointType)

This is a static method.


#include <Fusion/Components/JointGeometry.h>

returnValue = adsk::fusion::JointGeometry::createByProfile(profile, sketchCurve, 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
profile	Profile	The Profile object.
sketchCurve	SketchCurve	A sketch curve that is part of the input profile. This argument can be null in the case where the keyPointType is CenterKeypoint indicating the center of the profile is to be used. When a curve is used, the keyPointType specifies the position along the curve for the keypoint.
keyPointType	JointKeyPointTypes	Specifies the position along the curve where the joint keypoint will be located. For open curves (lines, arcs, elliptical arcs, and open splines) this can be StartKeyPoint, MiddleKeyPoint, or EndKeyPoint. For closed analytic (circles and ellipses), it must be CenterKeyPoint. When no curve is specified, it must be CenterKeyPoint indicating the center of area of the profile is to be used.

Name	Description
RevoluteJointMotion API Sample	Demonstrates creating a joint with revolute joint motion.
