AddFiniteByKeyPoint Method

Description

Adds or removes material from a feature starting at a specified surface and extending to a specified keypoint.

Visual Basic

Public Function AddFiniteByKeyPoint( _
   ByVal NumberOfProfiles As Long, _
   ByRef ProfileArray() As Object, _
   ByVal RefAxis As RefAxis, _
   ByVal KeyPointOrTangentFace As Object, _
   ByRef KeyPointFlags As KeyPointExtentConstants, _
   Optional ByVal ProfilePlaneSide As Variant, _
   Optional ByVal WantEndCaps As Boolean = False _
) As RevolvedSurface

Parameters

NumberOfProfiles

Specifies the number of profiles on which the revolved feature is to be based.

ProfileArray

Contains the Profile objects on which the revolved feature is to be based.

RefAxis

Specifies the RefAxis object about which the feature is to be revolved.

KeyPointOrTangentFace

Specifies the key point or face to which the feature is to be extended.

KeyPointFlags

Value	Description
igInteriorReverseTangentNormal	Key-point Extent - Interior Reverse Tangent Normal
igInteriorTangentNormal	Key-point Extent - Interior Tangent Normal
igReverseTangentNormal	Key-point Extent - Reverse Tangent Normal
igTangentNormal	Key-point Extent - Tangent Normal

ProfilePlaneSide

Indicates the direction in relation to the reference plane, in which the extruded feature extends. For example, this argument specifies if an extruded protrusion extends to the positive, negative, or both directions of the profile's reference plane.

WantEndCaps

Specifies whether you want end caps (thus creating a closed volume).
