ThickenFeatureInput Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Features/ThickenFeatureInput.h>

Description

This class defines the methods and properties that pertain to the definition of a Thicken feature.

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
creationOccurrence In order for geometry to be transformed correctly, an Occurrence for creation needs to be specified when the Thicken feature is created based on geometry (e.g. a profile and/or face(s)) in another component AND (the Thicken feature) is not in the root component. The CreationOccurrence is analogous to the active occurrence in the UI
inputFaces An ObjectCollection containing the face and/or patch bodies to thicken.
isChainSelection Get and sets whether faces that are tangentially connected to the input faces will be included in the thicken feature.
isSymmetric Gets and sets whether to add thickness symmetrically or only on one side of the face/s to thicken
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():
operation Gets and sets the feature operation to perform.
targetBaseFeature When creating a feature that is owned by a base feature, set this property to the base feature you want to associate the new feature with. By default, this is null, meaning it will not be associated with a base feature.

Because of a current limitation, if you want to create a feature associated with a base feature, you must set this property AND call the startEdit method of the base feature, create the feature, and then call the finishEdit method of the base feature. The base feature must be in an "edit" state to be able to add any additional items to it.
thickness Gets and sets the ValueInput object that defines the thickness distance.
