JointGeometry.createByTangentFaceEdge 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 BRepFace object as well as a BRepEdge object which is on the BRepFace.

This is a static method.


returnValue = adsk.fusion.JointGeometry.createByTangentFaceEdge(face, edge, edgePointType)

This is a static method.


#include <Fusion/Components/JointGeometry.h>

returnValue = adsk::fusion::JointGeometry::createByTangentFaceEdge(face, edge, edgePointType);

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

Name	Type	Description
face	BRepFace	The cylindrical, conical, spherical, toroidal or spline BRepFace object.
edge	BRepEdge	A BRepEdge object that is one of the edges on the selected face.
edgePointType	JointTangentFaceEdgePointTypes	Specifies the position along the edge where the joint keypoint will be located. The possible values depend on whether the edge is closed or not. For closed edge, the possible values can be StartJointTangentFaceEdgePointType, QuarterJointTangentFaceEdgePointType, MiddleJointTangentFaceEdgePointType or ThirdQuarterJointTangentFaceEdgePointType. For open edge, the possible values can be StartJointTangentFaceEdgePointType, MiddleJointTangentFaceEdgePointType, or EndJointTangentFaceEdgePointType.
