DistanceExtentDefinition Object

Derived from: ExtentDefinition Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Features/DistanceExtentDefinition.h>

Description

Defines the inputs for a distance ExtentDefinition object. This feature extent type defines the distance as well as whether the extent is symmetric or in only one direction. If the extent is not symmetric, a positive or negative distance can be used to control the direction. For a hole, the IsSymmetric property value will always be false.

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().
create	Statically creates a new DistanceExtentDefinition object. This is used as input when defining the extents of a feature to be a specified distance.

Properties

Name	Description
distance	Returns the parameter controlling the distance. You can edit the distance by editing the value of the parameter object.
isValid	Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
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():
parentFeature	Returns the parent feature that this definition is associated with. If this definition has been created statically and is not associated with a feature this property will return null.

Extrude Feature API Sample	Demonstrates creating a new extrude feature.
Manage Participant Bodies API Sample	Demonstrates how to manage participant During Cut operation. Same API can be used to manage participants During intersection also.
