Detailed Description

Cylinder manipulation class. The SCylinder creation can be done by calling the static functions:
.

New() to create your own empty SCylinder.
New() to copy an existing SCylinder.
New() to create a new SCylinder by defining a center point, normal, radius, and length.

var center = SPoint.New();

var direction = SVector.New(0, 0, 1);

var radius = 7;

var length = 77;

var emptySCylinder = SCylinder.New();

var mySCylinder = SCylinder.New(center, direction, radius, length);

var mySCylinderCopy = SCylinder.New(mySCylinder);

Member Function Documentation

◆ All

static Array SCylinder::All ( Number VisCrit )

inlinestaticslot

To get all the SComp in the document.

Return values

Array all the SCylinder contained in the document

Parameters

[in]

VisCrit

Visible selection criteria

0 Keep if not visible
1 Keep if visible
2 (Default) Indifferent

◆ Discretize

Array SCylinder::Discretize	(	Number	deflection,
		Number	meanPointDistance
	)

slot

To convert the continuous feature into a discretized SPoly. To use the deflection, put a positive value and set -1 to meanPointDistance To use the mean distance between points, put a positive value and set 0 to deflection To use default value, set 0 in deflection or meanPointDistance

Return values

Array.ErrorCode	The error code: 0: No error 1: An error occurred
Array.Poly	The discretized SPoly

Parameters

[in]	deflection	max deviation between the ideal shape and the discretized element
[in]	meanPointDistance	Mean distance between points/vertices

◆ Distance

Number SCylinder::Distance ( SPoint iPoint )

slot

Returns the distance between a point and the feature <0 if below/inside the feature >0 if above/outside the feature.

Parameters

[in] iPoint the point from which the distance to the feature has to be calculated

◆ FromClick

static Array SCylinder::FromClick ( )

inlinestaticslot

Displays a dialog box to select an SComp in the scene.

Warning: This function will break the script, and wait for user interaction

Return values

Array.ErrorCode	The error code 0: Success, the SComp is selected. 1: Nothing is selected. 2: The ESCape key has been pressed
Array.Cylinder	the SCylinder selected

◆ FromName

static Array SCylinder::FromName ( String Name )

inlinestaticslot

Search all the component with the given name.

Return values

Array all the SCylinder with the given name

◆ FromSel

static Array SCylinder::FromSel ( )

inlinestaticslot

To get all the selected SComp.

Return values

Array all the SCylinder selected

◆ GetBaseCenter

SPoint SCylinder::GetBaseCenter ( )

slot

Note: This function is the same as SFeature.GetCenter()

Returns: returns the base center of the cylinder

◆ GetBaseCircle

SCircle SCylinder::GetBaseCircle ( )

slot

Returns: returns the base circle of the cylinder

◆ GetLength

Number SCylinder::GetLength ( )

slot

Returns: Returns the length

◆ GetRadius

Number SCylinder::GetRadius ( )

slot

Returns: Returns the radius

SCircle SCylinder::GetTopCircle ( )

slot

Returns: returns the top circle of the cylinder

◆ IsOuter

Boolean SCylinder::IsOuter ( )

slot

To know if the SCylinder is set to be scanned from the inside or from the outside.

Return values

true	: the cylinder was defined as being scanned from the outside
false	: the cylinder was defined as being scanned from the inside

◆ New [1/4]

static SCylinder SCylinder::New ( )

staticslot

Default constructor to create an empty new SCylinder.

◆ New [2/4]

static SCylinder SCylinder::New ( SCylinder Other )

staticslot

Constructs an SCylinder by copying the SCylinder Other.

◆ New [3/4]

static SCylinder SCylinder::New	(	SPoint	Center,
		SVector	NormalDir,
		Number	Radius,
		Number	Length
	)

staticslot

Constructs a custom SCylinder from a given center point, normal direction, radius and length.

Parameters

Center	Cylinder center. The cylinder starts from this extremity in its normal direction
NormalDir	Cylinder normal axis
Radius	Cylinder radius
Length	Cylinder length

◆ New [4/4]

static SCylinder SCylinder::New	(	SPoint	FirstPt,
		SPoint	SecondPt,
		SPoint	ThirdPt,
		SPoint	FourthPt
	)

staticslot

Constructs a new SCylinder by 4 points.

Note: The 4 points must be not identical.
If you want to construct a cylinder with more than 4 points, use SCloud.BestCylinder().
The three first points define a base circle. The fourth point is used to calculate length

Parameters

[in]	FirstPt	First point on the cylinder (base circle)
[in]	SecondPt	Second point on the cylinder (base circle)
[in]	ThirdPt	Third point on the cylinder (base circle)
[in]	FourthPt	Fourth point on the cylinder to calculate length

◆ SetInner

SCylinder::SetInner ( )

slot

To set the SCylinder to a cylinder scanned from the inside.

◆ SetLength

SCylinder::SetLength ( Number Length )

slot

Setter for length.

Parameters

[in] Length length to set

◆ SetOuter

SCylinder::SetOuter ( )

slot

To set the SCylinder to a cylinder scanned from the outside.

◆ SetRadius

SCylinder::SetRadius ( Number Radius )

slot

Setter for the radius.

Parameters

[in] Radius radius to set

◆ toString [1/2]

String SCylinder::toString ( )

slot

Get the type of the variable.

◆ toString [2/2]

static String SCylinder::toString ( )

staticslot

Get the type of the variable.
