Detailed Description

This class represents a offset surface builder, used for creating or editing an offset surface feature.

The offset surface feature allows different face sets to be offset by different distances. Inputs to this class can be convergent objects.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.Features.FeatureCollection.CreateOffsetSurfaceBuilder

Default values.

Property

Value

ApproxOption

False

OutputOption

OneFeatureForConnectedFaces

PartialOption

False

StepOption

True

Created in NX4.0.0

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum NXOpen.Features.OffsetSurfaceBuilder.OrientationMethodType

Represents the type of orientation method.

This is applicable only if the output output is NXOpen.Features.OffsetSurfaceBuilder.OutputOptionType.OneFeatureForEachFace . The first enum value implies that the offset direction will be that of the surface normal whereas the second enum value implies that am interior position will be specified and the offset direction will be away from this point

Enumerator
UseExistingNormals
SpecifyInteriorPosition

enum NXOpen.Features.OffsetSurfaceBuilder.OutputOptionType

Represents the type of output option.

The faces to be offset can be disconnected and also from multiple bodies. If either is the case, then multiple features are created. For deciding whether there should be one feature for each topologically connected set of faces or one feature for each face selected the enum below has been provided

Enumerator
OneFeatureForConnectedFaces
OneFeatureForEachFace
OneFeatureForAllFaces
