JointGeometry.createByCurve 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 using a BRepEdge or SketchCurve as input. A JointGeometry object can be used to create a joint or joint origin.

This is a static method.


returnValue = adsk.fusion.JointGeometry.createByCurve(curve, 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
curve	Base	Input BRepEdge or SketchCurve.
keyPointType	JointKeyPointTypes	The position on the curve where to position the joint coordinate system. For any open curves the valid types are StartKeyPoint, MiddleKeyPoint, CenterKeyPoint and EndKeyPoint. For circular and elliptical shaped curves the option is CenterKeyPoint. For closed spline curves either StartKeyPoint or EndKeyPoint can be used and the result is the same.
