model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Block");

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Block") to create a block. The following properties are available:

Table 3-28: Valid Property/Value Pairs
Property	Value	Default	Description
axis	double[]	{0,0,1}	Direction of the edge on the local z-axis. Vector has length 3 if axistype is cartesian, and length 2 if axistype is spherical.
axistype	x \| y \| z \| cartesian \| spherical	z	Coordinate system used for axis. The value is synchronized with axis.
base	corner \| center	corner	Positions the object either centered about pos or with one corner in pos.
layer	double[]		Thicknesses of layers.
layertop	on \| off	off	Apply layers on top.
layerbottom	on \| off	on	Apply layers on bottom.
layerleft	on \| off	off	Apply layers to the left.
layerright	on \| off	off	Apply layers to the right.
layerfront	on \| off	off	Apply layers on front.
layerback	on \| off	off	Apply layers on back.
size	double[]	{1,1,1}	Edge lengths.
pos	double[]	{0,0,0}	Position of the object.
rot	double	0	Rotational angle about axis.
type	solid \| surface	solid	Object type.
selresult	on \| off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all \| obj \| dom \| bnd \| edg \| pnt \| off	dom	Show selections, if selresult is on, of resulting objects in physics, materials, and so on, or in part instances. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
contributeto	String	none	Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.
workplanesrc	this \| Part Instance feature	this	Part Instance feature to take the work plane from.
workplane	xyplane \| Work plane feature	xyplane	Work Plane feature that defines the coordinate system. The default, xyplane, is the global Cartesian coordinate system.

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"block2") constructs a solid block.

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"block3") constructs a surface block.

Table 3-29: Valid Property/Value Pairs
Property	Value	Default	Description
ax2	double[]	{0,0}	Alias for axis when axistype is spherical.
ax3	double[]	{0,0,1}	Alias for axis when axistype is cartesian.
lx, ly, lz	double	1	Alias for size.
x, y, z	double	0	Alias for pos.
