SD-INQ-TAPER-GROUP-P [function]
(sd-inq-taper-group-p taper-group)
- Description:
-
Predicate to determine whether the passed object is a taper group.
- Parameters:
-
taper-group {SEL_ITEM} - the object to inquire
- Return value:
- t - object is a taper group
- nil - object is not a taper group
SD-INQ-TAPER-GROUP [function]
(sd-inq-taper-group face)
- Description:
-
Inquire the taper group the given face belongs to.
- Parameters:
-
face {SEL_ITEM} - the face to inquire
- Return value:
- taper group {SEL_ITEM} - taper group where the face belongs
to
- nil - face doesn't belong to a taper group
SD-INQ-TAPER-GROUPS [function]
(sd-inq-taper-groups part)
- Description:
-
Inquire all taper groups of a part.
- Parameters:
-
part {SEL_ITEM} - the part to inquire
- Return value:
- taper groups {list of SEL_ITEMs} - all taper groups which
belong to the part
- nil - no taper group belongs to the part
SD-INQ-TAPER-GROUP-FACE-P [function]
(sd-inq-taper-group-face-p face :taper-group taper-group)
- Description:
-
Predicate to check whether a face belongs to a taper group or not. If
the parameter :taper-group is omitted then the function checks whether
the face belongs to any taper group. If a taper group is specified then
the function checks whether the face belongs to the specified taper
group.
- Parameters:
- face {SEL_ITEM} - the face to inquire
-
taper-group {SEL_ITEM} - the taper group to check with (optional
parameter)
- Return value:
-
- taper-group is not specified:
- t - the face belongs to any taper group
- nil - the face doesn't belong to any taper group
- taper-group is specified:
- t - the face belongs to the specified taper group
- nil - the face doesn't belong to the specified taper
group
SD-INQ-TAPER-GROUP-NAME [function]
(sd-inq-taper-group-name taper-group)
- Description:
-
Inquire the name of a taper group.
- Parameters:
-
taper-group {SEL_ITEM} - the taper group to inquire
- Return value:
- name {STRING} - the name of the taper group
SD-INQ-TAPER-GROUP-FACES [function]
(sd-inq-taper-group-faces taper-group)
- Description:
-
Inquire the faces belonging to the taper group.
- Parameters:
-
taper-group {SEL_ITEM} - the taper group to inquire
- Return value:
- faces {list of SEL_ITEMs} - all faces belonging to the taper
group
SD-INQ-TAPER-GROUP-GEOMETRIC-VALUES [function]
(sd-inq-taper-group-geometric-values taper-group :dest-space space)
- Description:
-
Inquire the geometric values of a taper group.
- Parameters:
- taper-group {SEL_ITEM} - the taper group to inquire
-
:dest-space {KEYWORD or SEL_ITEM [:local]}
- :local - Data is returned in the coordinate system of the
part containing the taper group.
- :global - Data is returned in the global coordinate
system.
- sel_item - Represents either an object or an element. Data
is returned in the coordinate system of the object or the
part/workplane owning the element.
- Return value:
-
property-list {LIST} - A property list containing key/value pairs
for the geometric values of the taper group
- :point {GPNT3D} - the draft point
- :direction {GPNT3D} - the draft direction
- :angle {double} - the draft angle
SD-INQ-TAPER-GROUP-COLOR [function]
(sd-inq-taper-group-color taper-group)
- Description:
-
Inquire the color of a taper group.
- Parameters:
-
taper-group {SEL_ITEM} - the taper group to inquire
- Return value:
- color {GPNT3D} - R,G,B color vector
- nil - no color is assigned to a taper group
SD-CALCULATE-MAXIMAL-EXTENSION [function]
(sd-calculate-maximal-extension elements direction)
- Description:
- Calculate the maximal extension and upper and lower point of a list of
given faces/edges in the specified direction.
-
NOTE: All elements must belong to the same part.
- Parameters:
- elements {list of SEL_ITEMs} - list of faces/edges belonging to
the same part
-
direction {GPNT3D} - the direction given in global coordinate
system to calculate the extension in
- Return value:
-
property-list {LIST} - A property list containing key/value pairs
for the geometric values
- :extension {double} - the maximal extension
- :upper {GPNT3D} - the upper point of the elements
- :lower {GPNT3D} - the lower point of the elements
