SketchArcs.addByThreePoints Method

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

Description

Creates a sketch arc that passes through the three points.

Remarks

Sketch arcs always exist in a counterclockwise direction. Even though you can provide three that define an arc that will have a clockwise direction, the result will still be a counterclockwise arc. This means if you query the created sketch arc, the start and end points may be opposite of what you expect.

"sketchArcs_var" is a variable referencing a SketchArcs object.returnValue = sketchArcs_var.addByThreePoints(startPoint, point, endPoint)

Return Value

Type	Description
SketchArc	Returns the newly created SketchArc or null in the case of a failure.

Parameters

point	Point3D	A point along the arc. This is a Point3D object.
endPoint	Base	The end point of the arc. This can be either an existing SketchPoint or a Point3D object.
