This class defines a dependent 1-Rail Sweep surface. A 1-Rail Sweep surface uses at least two curves. One curve, the "rail," defines one edge of the surface. The other curves define the surface's cross sections. The cross-section curves should intersect the rail curve. If the cross sections don't intersect the rail, the resulting surface is unpredictable.
Constructors
NURBS1RailSweepSurface [<property>:<val>]...
Any of the object's properties may be set via optional keyword arguments on the constructor.
Properties
<nurbs1railsweepsurface>.rail : integer
The parent rail curve by NURBSet index.
<nurbs1railsweepsurface>.railID : integer
The parent rail curve by NURBSId.
<nurbs1railsweepsurface>.numCurves : integer
The number of cross-section curves.
<nurbs1railsweepsurface>.parallel : boolean
If true, ensures that the sweep surface's normal is parallel to the rail.
<nurbs1railsweepsurface>.axisTM : matrix3
The axis of the sweep.
Methods
appendCurve <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <curve> [flip:<boolean>] [startPoint:<float>]
Adds a curve to the end of the list of cross-section curves by specifying the index in the NURBSSet. If flip:true is specified, the cross-section curve is reversed. startPoint specifies the start point on the parent curve. startPoint is applicable only if the parent is a closed curve.
appendCurveByID <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <curveID> [flip:<boolean>] [startPoint:<float>]
Adds a curve to the end of the list of cross-section curves by specifying the NURBSId. If flip:true is specified, the cross-section curve is reversed. startPoint specifies the start point on the parent curve. startPoint is applicable only if the parent is a closed curve.
getCurve <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <index>
setCurve <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <index> <curve>
Get or set the indexed cross-section curve by NURBSSet index.
getCurveID <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <index>
setCurveByID <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <index> <curveID>
Get or set the indexed cross-section curve by NURBSId.
getFlip <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <index>
setFlip <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <index> <boolean>
Get or set whether the indexed cross-section curve is reversed.
getCurveStartPoint <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <index>
setCurveStartPoint <nurbs1railsweepsurface> <index> <float>
Get or set the start point of the indexed cross-section curve on the parent curve. The start point is applicable only if the parent is a closed curve.
