Properties

Property	Description
Face	Returns the face to use as the region faces of the geometry groups.
Tag	Returns the Tag for this object.
Translucency	Returns or sets the translucency to specify the group faces display.

Methods

Method	Description
Commit	Commits any edits that have been applied to the builder.
CreateNewSubNode	Create a new sub node.
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.
GetFaceColor	Returns the face color.
GetObject	Returns the object currently being edited by this builder.
InitializeContent	Sets the initialize content.
InitializeGeometry	Sets the initialize geometry.
SetFaceColor	Sets the face color.
ShowResults	Updates the model to reflect the result of an edit to the model for all builders that support showing results.
Validate	Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

InitializeContent

ManufacturingGeometryBuilder.InitializeContent

Sets the initialize content.

Parameter initialize_way indicate the different invoke entry initialize_way == 0 : Run from Electrode Design Wizard initialize_way == 1 : Run from Progressive Die Wizard initialize_way == 2 : Run from Mold Wizard initialize_way == 3 : Run from Die Design initialize_way == 4 : Run from Engineering Die Wizard.

InitializeGeometry

ManufacturingGeometryBuilder.InitializeGeometry

Sets the initialize geometry.

Signature InitializeGeometry()

New in version NX8.0.0.

SetFaceColor

ManufacturingGeometryBuilder.SetFaceColor

Sets the face color.

Signature SetFaceColor(faceColor)

Parameters:faceColor (int) –

Validate

ManufacturingGeometryBuilder.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.

Signature Validate()

Returns:Was self validation successful Return type:bool
