OdModelerGeometry::getSlice Method (OdGePlane&, bool, OdDb3dSolidPtr &)
Collapse All
Syntax
C++
virtual OdResult getSlice(const OdGePlane& plane, bool getNegHalfToo, OdDb3dSolidPtr & negHalfSolid) = 0;
Parameters
Parameters 
Description 
const OdGePlane& plane 
[in] Reference to a slicing plane.  
bool getNegHalfToo 
[in] Flag determining whether the other (negative) part of the native ModelerGeometry object should be created as a separate ModelerGeometry object (when true).  
OdDb3dSolidPtr & negHalfSolid 
[out] Reference to a pointer to the created ModelerGeometry object representing the negative half of the native ModelerGeometry object. If getNegHalfToo is false, NULL value is returned.
 
Returns

eOk if the native ModelerGeometry object was successfully sliced or an appropriate error code in other case. If the slicing plane does not intersect the ModelerGeometry object, the ModelerGeometry object is left unchanged, negHalfSolid is set to NULL, and eOk is returned.

Description

Slices the ModelerGeometry object with a plane and transforms the native ModelerGeometry object to be the portion remaining on the positive side of the normal of the slicing plane. 

 

Remarks

The caller of this function is responsible for the memory used by the object pointed to by negHalfSolid when the function finishes. If negHalfSolid is added to a database, the database takes responsibility for the memory. If negHalfSolid is not added to a database, the caller must free memory when it is no longer needed to avoid a memory leak.
