Methods

Method	Description
Commit	Commits any edits that have been applied to the builder.
Destroy	Deletes the builder, and cleans up any objects created by the builder.
GetCommittedComponents	This method returns the component parts that are created by Builder.Commit().
GetCommittedObjects	For builders that create more than one object, this method returns the objects that are created by commit.
GetObject	Returns the object currently being edited by this builder.
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.

Method Detail

Validate

SurfaceWeldBuilder.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.
