Samples
| Transient surface body creation |
The following sample demonstrates the creation of a transient surface body consisting of a single rectangular face. The body is created in transient space and then copied over to a part document as a base feature. |
| Tapered Surface Using Offset Curve and Ruled Surface |
This sample demonstrates much of the wire body creation functionality. To run the sample you must have a part open and select a planar face. This sample then creates a trasient wire body using the geometry of the outside of the selected face. It then transforms and offsets that wire, and finally creates a ruled surface between the original wire and the offset wire. A base feature is created with the ruled surface. |
| Transient B-Rep Ruled Surface with Lines |
Demonstrate creating a transient ruled surface. This sample uses all straight line segments for each of the sections. A part document must be open. |
| Transient B-Rep Ruled Surface with Arc and Line |
Demonstrate creating a transient ruled surface. This sample uses straight line segments for once section and an arc for the second. A part document must be open. |
