Circle3D Object

Derived from: Curve3D Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/Circle3D.h>

Description

Transient 3D circle. A transient circle is not displayed or saved in a document. Transient 3D circles are used as a wrapper to work with raw 3D circle information. They are created statically using one of the create methods of the Circle3D 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 and returns an independent copy of this Circle3D object.
createByCenter	Creates a transient 3D circle object by specifying a center and radius.
createByThreePoints	Creates a transient 3D circle through three points.
getData	Gets all of the data defining the circle.
set	Sets all of the data defining the circle.
transformBy	Transforms this curve in 3D space.

Properties

Name	Description
asNurbsCurve	Returns a NURBS curve that is geometrically identical to the circle.
center	Gets and sets the center position of the circle.
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.
normal	Gets and sets the normal of the circle.
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():
radius	Gets and sets the radius of the circle.
