ConvertToSolid, ConvertToSurface, ConvertToCurve, ConvertToPoint
Unite and convert objects to a solid, surface, curve, or point object.
Syntax
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ConvertToSolid");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ConvertToSurface");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ConvertToCurve");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ConvertToPoint");
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>,convertOperation) to reduce or extend the topological dimension of objects.
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the objects to convert. The default selection is empty.
The following properties are available:

Description
absrepairtol
double
...geom(<tag>).
absRepairTol()
Absolute repair tolerance.
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.
input
Selection
 
Objects to convert.
keep
on | off
off
Keep input objects.
repairtol
double
...geom(<tag>).
repairTol()
Relative repair tolerance, relative to size of union of inputs.
repairtoltype
auto | relative | absolute
...geom(<tag>).
repairTolType()
Repair tolerance type: automatic, relative, or absolute.
selresult
on | off
off
Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow
all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off
dom for ConvertToSolid; bnd for ConvertToSurface; bnd (2D) or edg (3D) for ConvertToCurve; and pnt for ConvertToPoint.
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.
The input objects are united, and the resulting object is then converted to the requested type.
For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.
