Projection

Purpose

Project 3D objects and entities to a 2D work plane.

Syntax

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<wptag>).
geom().create(<ftag>,"Projection");

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<wptag>).
geom().feature(<ftag>).selection("input");

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

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

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).
setAttribute(attribute,<value>);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).
getAttribute(attribute);

Description

Use

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<wptag>).geom().
create(<ftag>,"Projection")

to create a projection feature tagged <ftag> in the 2D sequence of the work plane feature <wptag>. It can compute the projection of 3D objects and entities to the work plane.

By default, you get the projection for all 3D objects that were generated by the features preceding the work plane feature. To select a subset of these objects or to select entities, set the project property to the appropriate entity level, and use the property input to select the 3D objects or entities.

The following properties are available.

Table 3-32: Available Properties
Property	Value	Default	Description
absrepairtool		...geom(<tag>).absRepairTol()	Absolute repair tolerance
input	Selection		Entities to project. Used when project is not all
project	all \| obj \| dom \| bnd \| edg \| vtx	all	Project all objects or selected objects or entites
projectiontype	edgvtx \| outline \| all	outline	Projection type. Used when project is all, dom, or bnd.
repairtol	double	...geom(<tag>).repairTol()	Relative repair tolerance, relative to size of each input object
repairtoltype	auto \| relative \| absolute	...geom(<tag>).repairTolType()	Repair tolerance type: automatic, relative, or absolute
workplane	String		Work plane to project onto
selresult	on \| off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all \| obj \| bnd \| pnt \| off	bnd	Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; or in 3D from a plane geometry. obj is not available in a component’s geometry
contributeto	String	none	Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.

The following attributes are available:

Table 3-33: Valid attributes
Name	Value	Default	Description
construction	on \| off \| inherit	inherit	Designate the resulting objects as construction geometry. Use inherit to set the construction geometry attribute only if all input objects are construction geometry.
