Description

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

creates a transform faces feature tagged <ftag>. The following properties are available.

Table 3-86: Available Properties.
Property	Value	Default	Description
face	Selection	Empty	Faces to transform
keep	on \| off	off	Keep input objects
workplanesrc	this \| Part Instance feature tag	this	Part Instance feature to take the work plane from
workplane	xyplane \| work plane feature tag	xyplane	Work Plane feature that defines the coordinate system. The default, xyplane, is the global Cartesian coordinate system
center	double[3]	{0,0,0}	Point on the axis of rotation, and the center point of scaling
displ	double[3]	{0,0,0}	Displacement
specify	axis \| eulerang \| edge	axis	Specify an axis of rotation, Euler angles (Z-X-Z), or a straight edge
axistype	x \| y \| z \| cartesian \| spherical	z	Coordinate system used for axis. Used if specify is set to axis
ax3	double[3]	{0,0,1}	Axis vector, used if axistype is cartesian
ax2	double[2]	{0,0}	Spherical angles theta and phi, used if axistype is spherical
axis	double	{0,0,1}	Rotation axis. Vector has length 3 if axistype is cartesian, and length 2 if axistype is spherical. Alias for ax2 and ax3
eulerang	double[3]	{0,0,0}	Intrinsic Z-X-Z Euler angles α, β, and γ, used if specify is set to eulerang
edge	Selection		Edge selection. Used when specify is set to edge
rot	double	0	Rotation angle. Used if specify is set to axis or edge
factor	double	1	Scale factor
stepfaces	yes \| contang \| no	contang	Create step faces
mergestepfaces	on \| off	off	Merge step faces with adjacent face. Only used when stepfaces is yes
exceptendfacesmerged	on \| off	off	Except if faces at ends of edge can be merged. Only used when stepfaces is contang
perpstepedges	on \| off	off	Create perpendicular step edges for surface objects
overflow	auto \| extendtransformed \| extendother \| capfaces \| error	auto	Overflow handling
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
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 is active
customcolor	RGB-triplet	Next available theme color	The color to use. Active when color is set to custom
contributeto	String	none	Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to
propagatesel	on \| off	on	Propagate selections from input objects to resulting objects.

The following attributes are available:

Table 3-87: 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.
