SilhouetteSelection Object

Derived from: CurveSelection Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::cam" and the header file is <Cam/GeometrySelections/SilhouetteSelection.h>

Description

Represents a silhouette type of curve selection. Allows BRepBody selections for the input geometry. Overrides the GeometrySelection's the value property to include setup bodies if isSetupModelSelected is set to true and the selection has been applied. The results may contain duplicates.

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().

Properties

Name Description
error PreviewGets the last warning string encountered after the selection was applied to a parent.
hasError PreviewGets if errors were encountered when applying the selection to a a parent.
hasWarning PreviewGets if warnings were encountered when applying the selection to a parent.
inputGeometry Get or set the value of the input geometry. If the value originates from a component instead of an occurrence, or an occurrence outside of the CAM environment, then the subpath is checked against the CAM model tree. For some child classes, this may be the same as the value property, but might also consist of fewer elements. Valid elements depend on the capabilities of the derived class. An exception is thrown if the matching fails or the given entity does not match the expected type.
isSetupModelSelected Flag to include all B-Rep bodies set as the setup models.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
loopType Desired loop type. The default is AllLoops.
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():
sideType Desired side type. The default is StartOutside.
silhouetteTolerance PreviewThe distance the silhouette can differ from the model. This helps in creating a silhouette in situations where one cannot be created because of open contours.Generally, the tolerance value you use should be smaller than or equal to the machining tolerance.
value Returns the resulting value of the selection. In general, this returns the input selection, but child classes can override the return value if needed. Refer to the child classes comments for further details. The collection may contain duplicates.
warning PreviewGets the last warning string encountered after the selection was applied to a parent.
