TemporaryBRepManager.createSilhouetteCurves Method

Parent Object: TemporaryBRepManager
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/BRep/TemporaryBRepManager.h>

Description

Calculates the silhouette curve geometry for a given face as viewed from a given direction.

Syntax

Python
C++

"temporaryBRepManager_var" is a variable referencing a TemporaryBRepManager object.returnValue = temporaryBRepManager_var.createSilhouetteCurves(face, viewDirection, returnCoincidentSilhouettes)

"temporaryBRepManager_var" is a variable referencing a TemporaryBRepManager object.

#include <Fusion/BRep/TemporaryBRepManager.h>

returnValue = temporaryBRepManager_var->createSilhouetteCurves(face, viewDirection, returnCoincidentSilhouettes);

Return Value

Type	Description
BRepBody	Returns a SurfaceBody object that will contain one or more BRepWire objects that represent the silhouette curve(s). This method can return null in the case where there is not a silhouette curve for the specified face.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
face	BRepFace	Input BRepFace object to calculate the silhouette curve for.
viewDirection	Vector3D	Input Vector3D object that defines the view direction to calculate the silhouette curve relative to. The silhouette curve(s) will lie along the path where the face normal is perpendicular to the view direction.
returnCoincidentSilhouettes	boolean	Input Boolean that specifies if silhouette curves that are coincident to the edges of the face should be returned or not. If true, these curves will be returned.
