Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; in part instances; or in 3D from a plane geometry. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.

Table 3-86: Valid Property/Value Pairs

If source is file, the file that contains the vertex coordinates.

source

table | file | vectors

vectors

Whether vertex coordinates are specified as vectors, a table, or read from a file.

table

double[][]

The vertex coordinates when source is table, size N*sdim.

type

solid | open | closed

solid (2D)

open (3D)

Object type. solid is not available in 3D.

double[]

{}

x-coordinates for vertices.

double[]

{}

y-coordinates for vertices.

double[]

{}

z-coordinates for vertices.

selresult

on | off

off

Create selections of all resulting objects.

selresultshow

all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off

dom in 2D; edg in 3D.

Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; in part instances; or in 3D from a plane geometry. 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 (in 3D only).

workplane

xyplane | Work plane feature

xyplane

Work Plane feature that defines the coordinate system (in 3D only). The default, xyplane, is the global Cartesian coordinate system.

If type is open or closed, a curve consisting of line segments is constructed. If type is solid, the solid enclosed by such a closed polygon is constructed. If type is closed or solid, but the first and last control points are different, an extra segment is added to close the curve.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).importToTable() to read data from the file defined by the filename property and store the data in the table property. The source property is also changed to table.

If source is file, the polygon is not automatically rebuilt when the data in the file changes. Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).importData() to rebuild the polygon after such a change.

For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"line1") constructs an open polygon.

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"poly1") constructs a closed polygon.

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"line2") or model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"poly2") constructs a solid polygon.
