Property Summary
Property | as Iintseq | |
The path from the root assembly to the component through various subassembliescontaining this component. Each element of this sequence is an identifierof a component feature in its parent assembly. | ||
Property | as IpfcSolid | |
The model associated with the component the path points to | ||
Property | as IpfcAssembly | |
The root assembly |
Method Summary
Function | |
Returns a flag indicating whether a given component is visible in a simplified representation. | |
Function | |
Retrieves the transformation matrix from the coordinate system of the root assemby to the coordinate system of the model pointed to by the component path, or from the coordinate system of the model to the coordinate system of the root assembly. | |
Sub | |
Sets the position of the component described by the component path. |
Property Detail
Property | ComponentIds | as Iintseq |
The path from the root assembly to the component through various subassembliescontaining this component. Each element of this sequence is an identifierof a component feature in its parent assembly.
Property | Leaf | as IpfcSolid |
The model associated with the component the path points to
Property | Root | as IpfcAssembly |
The root assembly
Method Detail
Function | GetIsVisible |
Returns a flag indicating whether a given component is visible in a simplified representation.
Exceptions thrown (but not limited to):
IpfcXToolkitBadContext - The assembly is in the master representation.
Parameters:
InRep
The simplfied representation, or null, to use the active representation.
Returns:
true if the component is visible, false otherwise.
Function | GetTransform | (BottomUp as Boolean) as IpfcTransform3D |
Retrieves the transformation matrix from the coordinate system of the root assemby to the coordinate system of the model pointed to by the component path, or from the coordinate system of the model to the coordinate system of the root assembly.
Parameters:
BottomUp
If you request the transformation from the model to theassembly, this is true. Otherwise, this is false.
Returns:
The transformation matrix

Sub | SetTransform |
Sets the position of the component described by the component path.
The component will be temporarily moved to the new location without affecting its constraints or actual position. Takes effect only when the assembly is using DynamicPositioning.

Parameters:
BottomUp
true if the transformation is from the member to the assembly, false if the transformation is from the assembly to the member.
position
The location of the member with respect to the root assembly.
