ConstructionPointInput.setByPoint Method

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

Description

This input method is for creating a construction point on the specified point or vertex. The point can be either a B-Rep vertex, SketchPoint, or a Point3D object.

Providing a Point3D object is only valid when working in the direct edit modeling mode. This is not valid when working in the parametric modeling mode and will fail.

Even when providing a B-Rep vertex, or SketchPoint the result will be non-parametric if the parent component is a direct edit component.

Syntax

"constructionPointInput_var" is a variable referencing a ConstructionPointInput object.

returnValue = constructionPointInput_var.setByPoint(point)
"constructionPointInput_var" is a variable referencing a ConstructionPointInput object.

#include <Fusion/Construction/ConstructionPointInput.h>

returnValue = constructionPointInput_var->setByPoint(point);
"constructionPointInput_var" is a variable referencing a ConstructionPointInput object.

returnValue = constructionPointInput_var.setByPoint(point);

Return Value

Type Description
boolean Returns true if the creation of the ConstructionPointInput is successful.

Parameters

Name Type Description
point Base A B-Rep vertex, SketchPoint, or Point object
