Solid Edge Part Type Library
AddFinite Method
Solid Edge Part Type Library > RevolvedCutouts Collection : AddFinite Method
Specifies the Profile object on which the revolved feature is to be based.
Specifies the RefAxis object about which the feature is to be rotated.
A member of the FeaturePropertyConstants constant set that indicates the extruded object side profiles. For extruded cutouts, this argument determines if the material outside or inside of the revolved cutout feature is removed.
A member of the FeaturePropertyConstants constant set that indicates the direction in relation to the reference plane, in which the revolved feature extends. For example, this argument specifies if a revolved protrusion extends to the positive, negative, or both directions of the profile's reference plane.
Specifies in radians the sweep of the angle of revolution.
Description
Adds a 3-D feature object to an object collection.

A member of the FeaturePropertyConstants constant set that indicates the extruded object side profiles. For extruded cutouts, this argument determines if the material outside or inside of the revolved cutout feature is removed.
ProfilePlaneSide
A member of the FeaturePropertyConstants constant set that indicates the direction in relation to the reference plane, in which the revolved feature extends. For example, this argument specifies if a revolved protrusion extends to the positive, negative, or both directions of the profile's reference plane.
AngleofRevolution
Specifies in radians the sweep of the angle of revolution.
