Parent Object: TemporaryBRepManager
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/BRep/TemporaryBRepManager.h>

Description

Creates a B-Rep body that contains a wire with a single edge that represents a helical curve.

Syntax

Python
C++

"temporaryBRepManager_var" is a variable referencing a TemporaryBRepManager object.returnValue = temporaryBRepManager_var.createHelixWire(axisPoint, axisVector, startPoint, pitch, turns, taperAngle)

Return Value

Type	Description
BRepBody	Returns a temporary BRepBody object that contains a wire body that is the shape of the specified helix. Return null if the creation failed.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
axisPoint	Point3D	A Point3D object that defines a point along the axis of the helix.
axisVector	Vector3D	A Vector3D object that defines the direction of the axis of the helix.
startPoint	Point3D	A Point3D that defines the start point of the helix. This is a point on the helix and defines the starting point of the helix. The distance of this point to the axis defines the starting radius of the helix.
pitch	double	The pitch of the helix, or the distance between each of the turns, in centimeters.
turns	double	The number of turns of the helix.
taperAngle	double	The taper angle of the helix in radians.
