Samples
| Transient solid body creation |
The following sample demonstrates the creation of a transient solid block body. The newly created body is then displayed using client graphics in a part. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
