Description

NURB Cone


BobCAD API supports 2 different table key definition formats for flexibility in coding.

Keys

The following Keys can be created inside a table to form a cone:

Format 1 Keys

  • xOrigin - double value of the X coordinate of the bottom center of the cone
  • yOrigin - double value of the Y coordinate of the bottom center of the cone
  • zOrigin - double value of the Y coordinate of the bottom center of the cone

Format 2 Keys

  • Origin - a table consisting of 3 double positions representing X,Y,Z coordinates of the bottom center of the cone

Keys in both Format 1 and 2

  • Type="Cone" - Defines this table as a cone entity type
  • Height - the height of the cone
  • BaseRadius - the bottom radius of the cone
  • TopRadius - the top radius of the cone

Example

Format 1


--Minimal definition

myCone = { Type="Cone", xOrigin=25.0, yOrigin=30.0, zOrigin=20, Height=50.0, BaseRadius=30.0, TopRadius=15.0 }


--Complete definition

myCone = { CmdName="My Cone", Type="Cone", xOrigin=25.0, yOrigin=30.0, zOrigin=20.0, Height=50.0, BaseRadius=30.0, TopRadius=15.0, Layer="Layer Name", Color="Blue" }


Format 2


--Minimal definition

myCone = { Type="Cone", Origin={0.0,0.0,0.0}, Height=50.0, BaseRadius=30.0, TopRadius=15.0 }


--Complete definition

myCone = { CmdName="My Cone", Type="Cone", Origin={0.0,0.0,0.0}, Height=50.0, BaseRadius=30.0, TopRadius=15.0, Layer="Layer Name", Color="Blue" }
