Syntax
C++
virtual OdResult extrudeAlongPath(const OdDbRegion* region, const OdDbCurve* path, double taperAngle = 0.0, bool isSolid = true) = 0;
Parameters
Parameters 
Description 
const OdDbRegion* region 
[in] Pointer to a region object for extruding from.  
const OdDbCurve* path 
[in] Pointer to a curve object to extrude along. Must be one of the following:
  • Line
  • OdDbArc
  • OdDbCircle
  • Ellipse
  • OdDbSpline
  • OdDb2dPolyline
  • non-spline fit OdDb3dPolyline

 
double taperAngle = 0.0 
[in] Extrusion taper angle in radians. Default value is 0.0. Value must be between 0.5 pi and -0.5 pi. If the path represented by the OdDbCurve object is closed, the taper angle parameter is ignored.  
bool isSolid = true 
[in] Boolean flag that indicates that the ModelerGeometry object is a solid.
 
Returns

Returns eOk if extruding operation is successful or an appropriate error code if not.

Description

Creates a ModelerGeometry object by extruding a region along a path curve. 

 

Remarks

Entity path must not have self-intersections, and it is recommended that the path not have high curvature areas. The following constraints are applied: |taper Angle| >= 1e-6
