Method Detail

CreateSection

SectionCollection.CreateSection

Overloaded method CreateSection

  • CreateSection(chainingTolerance, distanceTolerance, angleTolerance)
  • CreateSection()
  • CreateSection(curve)

-------------------------------------

You should add selection intent rules to the section.

See the documentation for Section.AddToSection() for more details.

You can remove selection intent rules or one section element from the section.

See the documentation for Section.RemoveRules() and Section.RemoveSingleSectionElement() for more details.

Signature CreateSection(chainingTolerance, distanceTolerance, angleTolerance)

Parameters:
  • chainingTolerance (float) – Chaining tolerance
  • distanceTolerance (float) – Distance tolerance
  • angleTolerance (float) – Angle tolerance
Returns:
Return type:

CreateSectionsUsingCurves

SectionCollection.CreateSectionsUsingCurves

Creates sections using curves such that each section can be extruded to produce one body.

Curves are first sorted into loops and then the loops are classified as exterior loops and interior loops. A section is created for each exterior loop of curves and includes closed loops that are enclosed in the exterior loop depending on the loop option.

The inputs must be all curves. The curves must lie on the same plane.

Signature CreateSectionsUsingCurves(curves, loopOption, chainingTolerance, distanceTolerance, angleTolerance)

Parameters:
  • curves (list of NXOpen.NXObject) – Curves
  • loopOption (NXOpen.SectionCollectionLoopOption) – Loop option
  • chainingTolerance (float) – Chaining tolerance
  • distanceTolerance (float) – Distance tolerance
  • angleTolerance (float) – Angle tolerance
Returns:
Return type:
