Revolve

  • Revolve(Operation, BaseObject, Axis, Direction, Angle, Angle2, Walled, Thin1, Thin2)

Arguments

Note that some combinations of arguments may not be valid. The restrictions are the same as when creating a Revolve interactively.

  • Operation: This is also referred to as Material Types. It refers to the desired operation

    agc.Add
    agc.Cut
    agc.Slice
    agc.Imprint
    agc.Frozen

  • BaseObject: An existing base object

  • Axis: An existing plane axis, 2D line, or 3D line

  • Direction: Which way, or ways to revolve

    agc.DirNormal
    agc.DirReversed
    agc.DirSymmetric
    agc.DirAsymmetric

  • Angle: Primary revolve angle in degrees. This is used for both directions if Direction is agc.DirSymmetric.

  • Angle2: Secondary revolve angle in degrees. This is only used if Direction is agc.DirAsymmetric.

  • Walled: Switch for thin solids or surfaces

    agc.Yes
    agc.No

  • Thin1: Thickness inside profile

  • Thin2: Thickness outside profile

Properties

Note that the acceptable values for these properties are shown above. The same restrictions and argument types apply here as when creating the Revolve.

  • Name

  • Operation

  • Direction

  • Angle

  • Angle2

  • Walled

  • Thin1

  • Thin2

  • MergeTopology (This is set to agc.Yes by default)

Functions

  • PutBaseObject (BaseObject): Allows you to change the base object of the revolve. The base object should be an existing sketch, plane outline, or named selection.

  • PutAxis (Axis): Allows you to change the axis of the revolve. The axis should be an existing plane axis, 2D line, or 3D line.

Example
//Create Revolve of Sketch1, 90 degrees about the X Axis
var rev1 = agb.Revolve(agc.Add, ps1.Sk1, ps1.XAxis, agc.DirNormal,
90.0, 0.0, agc.No, 0.0, 0.0);
agb.Regen(); //To insure model validity

//Now make some changes to the Revolve
//Change to Sketch2 as the base object, and revolve about Line Ln10
rev1.PutBaseObject(ps1.Sketch2);
rev1.PutAxis(ps1.Ln10);
//Now Name it and change the rotation angle to 45 degrees
rev1.Name = "OvalRevolve";
rev1.Angle = 45;
//Next, Add a 90 degree rotation in the opposite direction
rev1.Direction = agc.DirAsymmetric;
rev1.Angle2 = 90;
//Finally, make it a walled solid with a thickness of 4 units, 3 to the inside and 1 outside
rev1.Walled = agc.Yes;
rev1.Thin1 = 3.0;
rev1.Thin2 = 1.0;
agb.Regen(); //To process the changes and insure model validity
