RuledSurfaceFeatures.createInput Method

Creates a RuledSurfaceFeatureInput object that defines the input needed to create a ruled surface feature. Use the input object to define the input to create the desired feature and then use the Add method, passing in the RuledSurfaceFeatureInput object.

Syntax

Python
C++

"ruledSurfaceFeatures_var" is a variable referencing a RuledSurfaceFeatures object.

# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = ruledSurfaceFeatures_var.createInput(profile, distance, angle, ruledSurfaceType)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = ruledSurfaceFeatures_var.createInput(profile, distance, angle, ruledSurfaceType, direction)

"ruledSurfaceFeatures_var" is a variable referencing a RuledSurfaceFeatures object.

#include <Fusion/Features/RuledSurfaceFeatures.h>

// Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = ruledSurfaceFeatures_var->createInput(profile, distance, angle, ruledSurfaceType);

// Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = ruledSurfaceFeatures_var->createInput(profile, distance, angle, ruledSurfaceType, direction);

Parameters

profile

Base

A Profile object that defines the sketch geometry or edges that define the shape of the ruled surface. The Component.createBRepEdgeProfile method is useful to create a profile defined from edges.

distance

ValueInput

ValueInput object that defines the extension distance of the Ruled Surface..

angle

ValueInput

ValueInput object that defines angle to use when creating the Ruled Surface. When the input is a real value, the units are radians.

ruledSurfaceType

RuledSurfaceTypes

The Ruled Surface type (TangentRuledSurfaceType, NormalRuledSurfaceType, or DirectionRuledSurfaceType).

direction

Base

If the ruled surface type is DirectionRuledSurfaceType, you must specify the direction. The direction is specified by providing a linear or planar entity. For example, a linear edge, construction axis, planar face, or construction plane can be used as input.

This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
