Chamfer

Create flattened corners in 2D objects. The Design Module also supports 3D chamfers.

Syntax

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

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

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

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

Description

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Chamfer") to chamfer corners in 2D.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("point") to select the corners to chamfer. The default selection is empty.

Table 3-30: Valid Property/Value Pairs
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.
dist	double	0	Distance from vertex to chamfer.
point	Selection		Vertices to chamfer.
pointinsketch	Selection		Vertices to chamfer in sketch geometry.
selectinsketch	on \| off	off	Determines which selection to show in the GUI (pointinsketch or point).
selresult	on \| off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all \| obj \| dom \| bnd \| pnt \| off	dom	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.

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

The point property always contains the vertices to chamfer in the usual geometry visualization. If the Chamfer feature was created in the sketch visualization, the property selectinsketch is on, and the selection pointinsketch contains the vertices to chamfer in the sketch visualization.

Example

Chamfer a rectangle.

Code for Use with Java

Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");

model.component().create("comp1");

GeomSequence g = model.component("comp1").geom().create("geom1",2);

g.create("r1","Rectangle");

g.create("cha1","Chamfer");

g.feature("cha1").selection("point").set("r1(1)",new int[]{1,2,3,4});

g.feature("cha1").set("dist",0.1);

g.run();
