OdDb3dSolid::extrudeAlongPath Method

Syntax

C++

virtual OdResult extrudeAlongPath(const OdDbRegion* region, const OdDbCurve* path, double taperAngle = 0.0);

Parameters	Description
const OdDbRegion* region	[in] Pointer to a region object to extrude 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. The value must be between 0.5pi and -0.5pi. Default value is 0.0. If the path represented by the OdDbCurve object is closed, the taper angle parameter is ignored.

eOk if the extruding operation is successful or an appropriate error code if not. If the solid is null, eInvalidInput is returned.

Creates a solid by extruding a region along a path curve.

Entity path must not have self-intersections, and it is recommended that the path does not have high curvature areas.

The following constraints are applied: |taper Angle| >= 1e-6.

This method is implemented for Spatial modeler and partially for ModelerGeometry.

The ModelerGeometry implementation returns the eNotImplementedYet status when one of the following conditions is true:

taperAngle != 0.
The path isn't perpendicular to the region plane at the path base point. The path base point is a point on the path that is the closest to the region center from the set of:
- All interscetion points of the region plane and the path in case when the path end point lies on the region plane.
- Path endpoints in case when both endpoints don't lie on the region plane.
Both path endpoints lie on region plane and aren't equal.
