OdGeExternalSurface Class

Class Hierarchy

Syntax

C++

class OdGeExternalSurface : public OdGeSurface;

File

GeExternalSurface.h

Description

This class represents unbounded surfaces, whose definitions are external to the OdGe library, as OdGeSurface.

Remarks

OdGeExternalSurface instances can be treated as any other OdGeSurface.

You can access the OdGeExternalSurface as a corresponding native OdGeSurface, if such a corresponding surface exists, or you may (more efficiently) access the external data in its native form.

One example of using OdGeExternalSurface is to access an ACIS surface.

Corresponding C++ library: TD_Ge

OdGeExternalSurface Methods

	Name	Description
	externalSurfaceKind	Rerurns information about the system that created the surface.
	getExternalSurface	Returns a copy of the raw surface definition.
	isCone	Return true if and only if the external surface can be represented as an OdGeCone.
	isCylinder	Return true if and only if the external surface can be represented as an OdGeCylinder.
	isDefined	Returns true if and only if the surface is defined (not an empty instance).
	isEllipCone	Return true if and only if the external surface can be represented as an OdGeEllipCone.
	isEllipCylinder	Return true if and only if the external surface can be represented as an OdGeEllipCylinder.
	isNativeSurface	Return true if and only if the external surface can be represented as a native OdGeSurface, and returns a pointer to an instance of that native surface.
	isNurbSurface	Return true if and only if the external surface can be represented as an OdGeNurbSurface.
	isOwnerOfSurface	Returns true if and only if the external surface owns the data.
	isPlane	Return true if and only if the surface can be represented as an OdGePlanarEnt.
	isSphere	Return true if and only if the external surface can be represented as an OdGeSphere.
	isTorus	Return true if and only if the external surface can be represented as an OdGeTorus.
	set	Sets the parameters for this external surface according to the arguments, and returns a reference to this external surface.
	setToOwnSurface	Forces this external surface to own the data, and returns a reference to this external surface.
