A Wire object represents a set of 3D curves. They are used in several different areas within the Inventor API. The bend and fold lines on the 3D flattened model of a sheet metal part are returned as a Wire object. It is also used to define 3D curves that are used as input when using some of the functions to create transient B-Rep bodies.
Method that computes the offset for a planar wire. A SurfaceBody containing the resulting Wire object(s) is returned. It’s possible that the offset result of a single wire can result in multiple wires.
Returns the top-level parent application object. When used the context of Inventor, an Application object is returned. When used in the context of Apprentice, an ApprenticeServer object is returned.
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.
