ProfilePlaneStartDefinition Object

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

Description

A definition object that is used to define a feature whose start plane is the sketch plane of the profile.

Methods

Name Description
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().
create Statically creates a new ProfilePlaneStartDefinition object. This is used as input when creating a new feature and defining the starting condition.

Properties

Name Description
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():
parentFeature Returns the parent feature that this definition is associated with. If this definition has been created statically and is not associated with a feature this property will return null.
profilePlane Returns the geometric definition of the profile plane.

Samples

Name Description
extrudeFeatures.add using thin extrude Demonstrates the extrudeFeatures.add method using the setThinExtrude method. To use this sample have a design open that contains a sketch with a profile. When you run the script you will be prompted to select the profile that will be used to create the thin extrusion.
