JointGeometry.createByNonPlanarFace Method

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

Description

Creates a new transient JointGeometry object based on a non-planar analytical BRepFace object. This is limited to cylinders, cones, spheres, and tori. A JointGeometry object can be used to create a joint or joint origin.

This is a static method.


returnValue = adsk.fusion.JointGeometry.createByNonPlanarFace(face, keyPointType)

Return Value

Type	Description
JointGeometry	Returns the transient JointGeometry object that can be used to create a joint or joint origin or null in case of a failure.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
face	BRepFace	The cylindrical, conical, spherical, or toroidal BRepFace object.
keyPointType	JointKeyPointTypes	Specifies the position relative to the input face where the joint keypoint will be located. For cylinders and cones this can be StartKeyPoint, MiddleKeyPoint, or EndKeyPoint. For spheres and tori this must be CenterKeyPoint.

Samples

Name	Description
RevoluteJointMotion API Sample	Demonstrates creating a joint with revolute joint motion.
