BlendCurve3DBuilder Class

class NXOpen.Tooling.BlendCurve3DBuilder

Bases: NXOpen.Builder

Represents a NXOpen.Tooling.BlendCurve3DBuilder builder which implements blend curves in one side where the corner radius is too small.

This builder’s Commit generally can produce only one (sometimes more than one) new blended curve, the GetCommittedObjects can be used to get the objects. The input curves will be deleted. To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.Tooling.CAMDataManager.CreateBlendCurve3dBuilder()

Default values.

Property	Value
BlendCurveOption	Vector
DistanceTolerance	0.0254 (millimeters part), 0.001 (inches part)
InputCurves	Hide
MinimalRadius	10 (millimeters part), 0.4 (inches part)

New in version NX9.0.0.
