Parent Object: RevolveFeatures

Description

Method that creates a new RevolveFeature using 'to next' extents. The new RevolveFeature is returned.

Syntax

RevolveFeatures.AddByToNextExtent( Profile As Profile, AxisEntity As Object, ExtentDirection As PartFeatureExtentDirectionEnum, Terminator As SurfaceBody, Operation As PartFeatureOperationEnum ) As RevolveFeature

Parameters

Name Type Description
Profile Profile Input Profile object used to define the shape of the revolution. If the Operation argument is anything except kSurfaceOperation, then the input profile must have closed paths. Open paths are valid when creating surfaces.
AxisEntity Object Input linear entity that defines the axis of the revolution. This can either be a sketch line in the same sketch that was used to generate the profile or a WorkAxis object.
ExtentDirection PartFeatureExtentDirectionEnum Input constant that indicates which side of the sketch plane to extrude towards. Valid input is kPositiveExtentDirection or kNegativeExtentDirection. kPositiveExtentDirection defines the offset direction to be in the same direction as the normal of the sketch plane.
Terminator SurfaceBody Input SurfaceBody object that specifies the solid or the surface on which to terminate the revolution.
Operation PartFeatureOperationEnum Input constant that indicates the type of operation to perform. Valid input is kJoinOperation, kCutOperation, kIntersectOperation, kSurfaceOperation.
