Sphere Object

Derived from: Surface Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/Sphere.h>

Description

Transient sphere. A transient sphere is not displayed or saved in a document. Transient spheres are used as a wrapper to work with raw sphere information. A transient sphere is a full sphere defined by a point and a radius. They are created statically using the create method of the Sphere class.

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().
copy	Creates and returns an independent copy of this Sphere object.
create	Creates a transient sphere object.
getData	Gets all of the data defining the sphere.
set	Sets all of the data defining the sphere.
transformBy	Updates this surface by transforming it with a given input matrix.

Properties

Name	Description
evaluator	Returns the surface evaluator.
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():
origin	Gets and sets the origin point (center) of the sphere.
radius	Gets and sets the radius of the sphere.
surfaceType	Returns the surface type.
