GraphNode Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::volume" and the header file is <Volume/Volumetric/GraphNode.h>

Description

An individual node within a graph.

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().

deleteMe

Deletes the graphNode and all of its connections.

hasValidProperties

Check if the graph node properties are valid.

Properties

Name Description
description A user readable description that explains the function of this node type.
inputPins Gets the input pins of this node. Connecting a pin of another node to one of these pins feeds a value into this node. There is an implicit XYZ input which, if disconnected, gets the current position.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
name The name of this graph node as given on creation. Node names for each graph should be unique.
nodeType Get the string node type that it was created with.
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():
outputPins Gets the output pins of this node. Connecting one of these pins to a pin of another node feeds the value produced by this node into that node.
properties Gets a collection of all node properties supported by this node.

Samples

Name Description
Volumetric Custom Feature API Sample

Demonstrates how to create a Volumetric Custom Feature using the API for graph creation.

To run the sample script, have a document open in Fusion’s DESIGN workspace. This script will create a component with a box by sketching then extruding that sketch. It will then use that box as a boundary body and create a Volumetric Custom Feature.

The script will then create a gyroid lattice using the Volumetric Model API with the appropriate graphs, nodes, and pin connections for a minimal example. Finally, the script will convert that Volumetric Model to Mesh using the API and the VolumetricModelToMeshFeature.
