Sketch.projectToSurface Method

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

Description

Projects the specified set of curves onto the specified set of faces using the specified method of projection. if the projection type is along a vector, then the directionEntity argument must be supplied. if the projectionType is the closest point method, the directionEntity argument is ignored.

"sketch_var" is a variable referencing a Sketch object.

# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = sketch_var.projectToSurface(faces, curves, projectType)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = sketch_var.projectToSurface(faces, curves, projectType, directionEntity)

Return Value

Type	Description
SketchEntity[]	Returns an array of the sketch entities that were created as a result of projection the specified curves onto the faces.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
faces	BRepFace[]	An array of BRepFace objects that the curves will be projected onto.
curves	Base[]	An array of various curve objects that will be projected onto the faces. The curves can be sketch curves and points, BRepEdge objects, ConstructionAxis objects, and ConstructionPoint objects.
projectType	SurfaceProjectTypes	Specifies which projection type to use which defines the direction of projection. If this is set to AlongVectorSurfaceProjectType the directionEntity argument must be provided.
directionEntity	Base	if the projectType argument is AlongVectorSurfaceProjectType, this argument must be specified and defines the direction of projection. It can be a linear BRepEdge, a BRepFace where the normal will be used, a SketchLine, or a ConstructionLine. This is an optional argument whose default value is null.

Samples

Name	Description
