Methods

Method Description
Commit Commits any edits that have been applied to the builder.
CommitFeature Commits the feature parameters and creates the feature
Destroy Deletes the builder, and cleans up any objects created by the builder.
GetCommittedObjects For builders that create more than one object, this method returns the objects that are created by commit.
GetFeature Returns the feature currently being edited by this builder.
GetObject Returns the object currently being edited by this builder.
HideInternalParentFeatureAfterEdit Re-suppress an internal parent feature (a slave feature) after it has been edited.
SetEndLimitHelperPoint If until selected option is used for end limit and the selected entity intersects the revolve multiple times, this point (in parasolid units) will help the system determine which intersection to select.
SetParentFeatureInternal Set the parent features which would be internal or slaves to the feature being created or commited
SetStartLimitHelperPoint If until selected option is used for start limit and the selected entity intersects the revolve multiple times, this point (in parasolid units) will help the system determine which intersection to select.
ShowInternalParentFeatureForEdit Unsuppress an internal parent feature (a slave feature) so it can be edited.
ShowResults Updates the model to reflect the result of an edit to the model for all builders that support showing results.
UnsetParentFeatureInternal Set the internal parent feature of the feature being edited to external
Validate Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

Method Detail

SetEndLimitHelperPoint

RevolveBuilder.SetEndLimitHelperPoint

If until selected option is used for end limit and the selected entity intersects the revolve multiple times, this point (in parasolid units) will help the system determine which intersection to select.

Signature SetEndLimitHelperPoint(endHelperPoint)

Parameters:endHelperPoint (list of float) – If given end trim limit intersects with revolve multiple times, solution closest to this point will be used.

New in version NX7.5.0.

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”)

SetStartLimitHelperPoint

Validate

RevolveBuilder.Validate

Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.
