This functionality is provided as a preview
of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the
Fusion API and Scripts forum.
Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly
break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use
any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.
Defines the input properties required for creating a lofted flange feature. Use the createInput method on LoftedFlangeFeatures to create an instance of this object.
| 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(). |
| setFacetControlByChordTolerance |
Sets the facet control to chord tolerance, which limits the maximum distance between the true curved surface and the faceted approximation. Only applicable when the forming type is BrakeFormLoftedFlangeFormingType. |
| setFacetControlByFacetAngle |
Sets the facet control to facet angle, which limits the maximum angle between adjacent facet normals. Only applicable when the forming type is BrakeFormLoftedFlangeFormingType. |
| setFacetControlByFacetDistance |
Sets the facet control to facet distance, which limits the maximum length of any individual facet edge. Only applicable when the forming type is BrakeFormLoftedFlangeFormingType. |
| setFacetControlByFacetNumber |
Sets the facet control to a fixed number of facets along the transition. Only applicable when the forming type is BrakeFormLoftedFlangeFormingType. |
| Name | Description |
| facetControlType | Gets the facet control type currently defined for the lofted flange. This is only applicable when the forming type is BrakeFormLoftedFlangeFormingType and is ignored for DieFormLoftedFlangeFormingType. The type is set by calling one of the setFacetControlByXxx methods. Defaults to ChordToleranceLoftedFlangeFacetControlType when the input is first created. |
| formingType | Gets and sets the forming type for the lofted flange, which controls how the sheet metal is physically formed between the profiles. Defaults to BrakeFormLoftedFlangeFormingType when the input is first created. |
| 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 type of operation performed when creating the lofted flange. Defaults to creating a new body in the component the LoftedFlangeFeatures collection was obtained from. In a hybrid design you can also choose to create a new component where the lofted flange will be created. |
| orientation | Gets and sets the orientation of the lofted flange, defining on which side of the profile planes the material thickness is applied. Defaults to SideOneFlangeOrientation when the input is first created. |
| profiles | Gets and sets the ordered array of open profiles that define the cross-sections of the lofted flange. At least two profiles are required. The profiles are used in the order they appear in the array: the first profile defines the start cross-section and the last profile defines the end cross-section. Each profile must lie on a separate plane. |
