Face Methods

The Face type exposes the following members.

Methods

 NameDescription
Public methodComputeDerivativesReturns the first partial derivatives of the underlying surface at the specified point.
Public methodComputeNormalReturns the normal vector for the face at the given point.
Public methodComputeSecondDerivativesReturns the second partial derivatives of the face at the specified point.
Public methodDisposeCauses the object to release immediately any resources it may be utilizing.
(Inherited from APIObject)
Public methodEquals Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
(Inherited from GeometryObject)
Public methodEvaluateEvaluates and returns the XYZ coordinates of a point at the indicated UV parameterization of the face.
Public methodGetBoundingBoxReturns the UV bounding box of the face.
Public methodGetEdgesAsCurveLoopsReturns a list of closed curve loops that correspond to the edge loops of the face. Curves in each curve loop correspond to individual edges.
Public methodGetHashCode Gets the integer value of the geometry object as hash code
(Inherited from GeometryObject)
Public methodGetRegionsGets the face regions (created, for example, by the Split Face command) of the face.
Public methodGetSurfaceReturns a copy of this face's surface.
Public methodGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object)
Public methodIntersect(Curve)Calculates the intersection of the specified curve with this face.
Public methodIntersect(Face)Calculates the intersection of the specified face with this face and returns the intersection results.
Public methodIntersect(Curve, IntersectionResultArray%)Calculates the intersection of the specified curve with this face and returns the intersection results.
Public methodIntersect(Face, Curve%)Calculates the intersection of the specified face with this face and returns the intersection results.
Public methodIsInside(UV)Indicates whether the specified point is within this face.
Public methodIsInside(UV, IntersectionResult%)Indicates whether the specified point is within this face and outputs additional information about the point location.
Public methodProjectProjects the specified point on the face.
Public methodToStringReturns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object)
Public methodCode exampleTriangulate()Returns a triangular mesh approximation to the face.
Public methodTriangulate(Double)Returns a triangular mesh approximation to the face.
