LoftCenterLineOrRails Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Features/LoftCenterLineOrRails.h>

Description

Defines a single centerline or one or more rails for a loft feature.

Methods

Name Description
addCenterLine Adds a centerline. A single centerline can be defined for a loft. If a centerline or rails have already been defined, they will be removed and the input will become the new single centerline.

If this LoftCenterLineOrRails object is associated with a created feature,
addRail Add a rail to the loft definition. Multiple rails can be defined, so each call of this method adds a new rail.

If this LoftCenterLineOrRails object is associated with a created feature, you need to position the timeline marker to immediately before this feature. This can be accomplished using the following code: thisFeature.timelineObject.rollTo(True)
classType Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType().
item Function that returns the specified LoftCenterLineOrRail using an index into the collection.

Properties

Name Description
count The number of centerlines or rails in the collection.
isCenterLine Indicates if a centerline or rails are currently defined.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
objectType This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object.

It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType():
