SurfaceEvaluator.getParametersAtPoints Method

Parent Object: SurfaceEvaluator
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/SurfaceEvaluator.h>

Description

Get the parameter positions that correspond to a set of points on the surface. For reliable results, the points should lie on the surface within model tolerance. If the points do not lie on the surface, the parameter of the nearest point on the surface will generally be returned.

Syntax

"surfaceEvaluator_var" is a variable referencing a SurfaceEvaluator object.

(returnValue, parameters) = surfaceEvaluator_var.getParametersAtPoints(points)
 

#include <Core/Geometry/SurfaceEvaluator.h

// Declare the output arguments.
Point3D[] points;
Point2D[] parameters;
boolean returnValue = surfaceEvaluator_var->getParametersAtPoints(points, parameters);

Return Value

Type Description
boolean Returns true if the parameters were successfully returned.

Parameters

Name Type Description
points Point3D[] An array of points to get the surface parameter values at.
parameters Point2D[] The output array of parameter positions corresponding to the set of points. The length of this array will be equal to the length of the points array specified.
