Hexahedron

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

Property name	property Value	Default	Description
color	none \| custom \| integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme	none	The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult in active.
customcolor	RGB-triplet	Next available theme color	The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
p	double[3][8]	{{0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1}, {0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0}, {0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1}}	Corner coordinates.

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.

Property name

none | custom | integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme

none

The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult in active.

customcolor

RGB-triplet

Next available theme color

The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.

solid | surface

on | 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.

•

The first four points and the last four points projected down to the (x, y)-plane defines two negatively oriented quadrangles (quadrilaterals).

•

Generally oriented hexahedra have the points of p ordered in a similar way, except for a rigid transformation of the defining point set.
