TSplineBodies.createCylinderInput Method

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

Description

Creates a TSplineCylinderInput object that is used to define all of the input required to create a cylinder shaped T-Spline body. The fully defined TSplineCylinderInput object is passed into the add method to create the actual T-Spline body. The origin, xDirection, and yDirection define a coordinate system in space where the axis of the cylinder is in the Z direction.

Additional settings can be defined using the returned TSplineCylinderInput object.

Syntax

"tSplineBodies_var" is a variable referencing a TSplineBodies object.

returnValue = tSplineBodies_var.createCylinderInput(origin, xDirection, yDirection, radius, height)
"tSplineBodies_var" is a variable referencing a TSplineBodies object.

#include <Fusion/TSpline/TSplineBodies.h>

returnValue = tSplineBodies_var->createCylinderInput(origin, xDirection, yDirection, radius, height);
"tSplineBodies_var" is a variable referencing a TSplineBodies object.

returnValue = tSplineBodies_var.createCylinderInput(origin, xDirection, yDirection, radius, height);

Return Value

Type Description
TSplineCylinderInput Returns the newly created TSplineCylinderInput object or null if the creation failed.

Parameters

Name Type Description
origin Point3D The center point of the base of the cylinder.
xDirection Vector3D A vector defining the X direction.
yDirection Vector3D A vector defining the Y direction. This should be perpendicular to the xDirection.
radius double The radius of the cylinder in centimeters.
height double The height of the cylinder in the Z direction in centimeters.
