CutLine2D, CutLine3D

Create a 2D or 3D cut line data set.

Syntax

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"CutLine2D");

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"CutLine3D");

model.result().dataset(<dtag>).set(property, <value>);

Description

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"CutLine2D") creates a 2D cut line data set feature named <dtag>.

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"CutLine3D") creates a 3D cut line data set feature named <dtag>.

The following properties are available:

Table 7-16: Valid Property/Value Pairs for cutline Data sets
Property	Value	Default	Description
bndsnap	Boolean	false	If true, each point is snapped to the closest boundary. For Cut Line 3D data sets only.
bounded	on \| off	on	Active when method equals twopoint, this property specifies if the line should be bounded by the two points or extend infinitely.
data	none \| data set name	First compatible data set	The data set this feature refers to.
genparaactive	on \| off	off	Decides if parallel lines should be drawn.
genparadist	double array	{}	Active when genparaactive is on, this property contains the distances from the extra parallel lines to the base line.
genpoints	double matrix	{{0, 0, 0}, {1,0,0}}	Active when method equals twopoint, this property contains the coordinates of the two points in the two rows of the matrix.
method	twopoint \| pointdir	twopoint	Decides if the line should be specified by two points or through one point and a direction.
normal	String array of length 2	{"cln1nx", "cln1ny"} for the first Cut Line 2D data set.	For Cut Line 2D data sets only: Variables for the normals to the cut line.
orthvec	String array of length 3	{"0","1","0"}	Used in 3D when genparaactive is true: The direction that together with the cut line’s direction spans the plane that contains the parallel lines.
pddir	String array	Zero string vector	Active when method equals pointdir, this property contains the direction.
pdpoint	String array	Zero string vector	Active when method equals pointdir, this property contains the coordinates of the point.
spacevars	String array of length 1	Created from the feature tag.	The name of the variable that evaluates to the line’s parameterization.
