EllipticalCone Object
Derived from: Surface ObjectDefined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/EllipticalCone.h>
Description
Transient elliptical cone. A transient elliptical cone is not displayed or saved in a document. A transient elliptical cone is used as a wrapper to work with raw elliptical cone information. A transient elliptical cone has no boundaries. The cone always goes to a point in its narrowing direction, and is infinite in its widening direction. They are created statically using the create method of the EllipticalCone class.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(). |
| copy | Creates and returns an independent copy of this EllipticalCone object. |
| create | Creates a transient elliptical cone object. |
| getAxes | Gets the center axis of the cone that defines its normal direction and the major axis direction of the ellipse that defines it. |
| getData | Gets the data that defines the Elliptical Cone. |
| set | Sets the data that defines the Elliptical Cone. |
| setAxes | Sets the center axis of the cone and the major axis direction of the ellipse that defines it. |
| transformBy | Updates this surface by transforming it with a given input matrix. |
Properties
| Name | Description |
| evaluator | Returns the surface evaluator. |
| halfAngle | Gets and sets the taper half-angle of the elliptical cone. A negative value indicates that the cone is narrowing in the direction of the axis vector, whereas a positive values indicates that it is expanding in the direction of the axis vector. |
| isValid | Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference. |
| majorRadius | Gets and sets the major radius of the ellipse that defines the cone. |
| minorRadius | Gets and sets the minor radius of the ellipse that defines the cone. |
| 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(): |
| origin | Gets and sets the origin point (center) of the base of the cone. |
| surfaceType | Returns the surface type. |
