Object that represents an existing shell feature in a design.
| 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(). |
| createForAssemblyContext |
Creates or returns a proxy for the native object - i.e. a new object that represents this object but adds the assembly context defined by the input occurrence. |
| deleteMe |
Deletes the feature. This works for both parametric and non-parametric features. |
| dissolve |
Dissolves the feature so that the feature information is lost and only the B-Rep geometry defined by the feature remains. This is only valid for non-parametric features. |
| setInputEntities |
Method that sets faces to remove and bodies to preform shell. Return false if any faces are input, and the owning bodies of the faces are also input. |
| setThicknesses |
Method that sets the inside and outside thicknesses of the shell. |
| Name | Description |
| assemblyContext | Returns the assembly occurrence (i.e. the occurrence) of this object in an assembly. This is only valid in the case where this is acting as a proxy in an assembly. Returns null in the case where the object is not in the context of an assembly but is already the native object. |
| attributes | Returns the collection of attributes associated with this face. |
| baseFeature | If this feature is associated with a base feature, this property will return that base feature. If it's not associated with a base feature, this property will return null. |
| bodies | Returns the bodies that were modified or created by this feature. This works for both parametric and non-parametric features. For a BaseFeature this returns the bodies that are owned by the base feature. |
| entityToken | |
| errorOrWarningMessage | Returns the error or warning message in the case where the healthState property returns either WarningFeatureHealthState or ErrorFeatureHealthState. Otherwise this property returns an empty string. |
| faces | Returns the faces that were created by this feature. This works for both parametric and non-parametric features. |
| healthState | Returns the current health state of the feature. |
| inputEntities | Gets the input faces/bodies. |
| insideThickness | Gets the inside thickness. Edit the thickness through ModelParameter. This property returns nothing in the case where the feature is non-parametric. |
| isParametric | Indicates if this feature is parametric or not. |
| isSuppressed | Gets and sets if this feature is suppressed. This is only valid for parametric features. |
| isTangentChain | Gets if any faces that are tangentially connected to any of the input faces will also be included in setting InputEntities. |
| isValid | Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference. |
| linkedFeatures | Returns the set of features that are linked to this feature. The set of linked features are all of the features that were created in various components as the result of a single feature being created in the user interface. |
| name | Returns the name of the feature as seen in the browser (non-parametric) or in the timeline (parametric). |
| nativeObject | The NativeObject is the object outside the context of an assembly and in the context of its parent component. Returns null in the case where this object is not in the context of an assembly but is already the native object. |
| objectType | Returns a string indicating the type of the object. |
| outsideThickness | Gets the outside thickness. Edit the thickness through ModelParameter. This property returns nothing in the case where the feature is non-parametric. |
| parentComponent | Returns the parent component that owns this feature. |
| shellType | The shell type used when creating a shell. The default value is SharpOffsetShellType. To set this property, you need to position the timeline marker to immediately before this feature. This can be accomplished using the following code: thisFeature.timelineObject.rollTo(True) |
| timelineObject | Returns the timeline object associated with this feature. |
| Name | Description |
| Shell Feature API Sample | Demonstrates creating a new shell feature. |
