ObjectModelerBase Interface CATIOrientation

Usage: an implementation of this interface is supplied and you must use it as is. You should not reimplement it.

interface CATIOrientation

Interface to manage access to the orientation (material inside) of a sub-element(BRep Access).

Note: available only on faces for the moment.

Method Index

o GetFavoritePoint(CATBaseUnknown_var&): Returns the coordinates of a characteristic point of the sub-element.
o GetOrientation(CATBaseUnknown_var&): Returns the orientation.

Methods

o GetFavoritePoint

public virtual GetFavoritePoint( const iBody =NULL_var)

Returns the coordinates of a characteristic point of the sub-element.

Parameters:

iBody: if NULL, computation is done on the topological body where the sub-element is defined.
else computation is done on this body.

Returns:

a CATMathPoint

o GetOrientation

public virtual GetOrientation( const iSolid =NULL_var)

Returns the orientation.

Parameters:

iSolid: corresponds to a body.
if NULL, computation is done on the topological body where the sub-element is defined.
else computation is done on this body

Returns:

1 if the orientation of material and geometry underlying the face are the same.
-1 if the orientation of material and geometry underlying the face are opposite.
0 if the system didn't succeed in computing the result
