Ellipse3D Object
Derived from: Curve3D ObjectDefined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/Ellipse3D.h>
Description
Transient 3D ellipse. A transient ellipse is n0t displayed or saved in a document. Transient 3D ellipses are used as a wrapper to work with raw 3D ellipse information. They are created statically using the create method of the Ellipse3D class.Methods
| Name | Description |
| classType | Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType(). |
| copy | Creates a copy of this Ellipse3D object. |
| create | Creates a transient 3D ellipse object. |
| getData | Gets all of the data defining the ellipse. |
| set | Sets all of the data defining the ellipse. |
| transformBy | Transforms this curve in 3D space. |
Properties
| Name | Description |
| asNurbsCurve | Returns a NURBS curve that is geometrically identical to the ellipse. |
| center | Gets and sets the center position of the ellipse. |
| curveType | Returns the type of geometry this curve represents. |
| evaluator | Returns an evaluator object that lets you perform additional evaluations on the curve. |
| isValid | Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference. |
| majorAxis | Gets and sets the major axis of the ellipse. |
| majorRadius | Gets and sets the major radius of the ellipse. |
| minorRadius | Gets and sets the minor radius of the ellipse. |
| normal | Gets the normal of the ellipse. |
| objectType | This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object. It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType(): |
