Surface Object

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

Description

Describes a two-dimensional topological, manifold in three-dimensional space. It is used as the underlying geometry for a BRepFace.

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().
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():
surfaceType Returns the surface type.
