ConstructionPlaneInput.setByOffset Method

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

Description

This input method is for creating a construction plane that is offset from a planar face or construction plane at a specified distance. This can result in a parametric or non-parametric construction plane depending on whether the parent component is parametric or is a direct edit component.

"constructionPlaneInput_var" is a variable referencing a ConstructionPlaneInput object.returnValue = constructionPlaneInput_var.setByOffset(planarEntity, offset)

Return Value

Type	Description
boolean	Returns true if the creation of the ConstructionPlaneInput is successful.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
planarEntity	Base	A plane, planar face or construction plane from which to create the offset plane
offset	ValueInput	ValueInput object that specifies the offset distance for the plane

Samples
