RectilinearTriDimFeatEdge (Object)

1-D boundary belonging to a feature whose topological result is three dimensional, the boundary having a rectilinear geometry.
Role: This Boundary object may be, for example, the edge of a Pad resulting from the extrusion of a square.
You will create a RectilinearTriDimFeatEdge object using the Shapes.GetBoundary , HybridShapes.GetBoundary , Sketches.GetBoundary or Selection.SelectElement2 method. Then, you pass it to the operator (such as Hole.SetDirection ).
The lifetime of a RectilinearTriDimFeatEdge object is limited, see Boundary.

Example:

This example asks the end user to select a face, a rectilinear edge, and creates a hole. The rectilinear edge specifies the hole direction. It may be a RectilinearTriDimFeatEdge, a RectilinearBiDimFeatEdge or a RectilinearMonoDimFeatEdge.

GetDirection: Returns the direction of the rectilinear edge
GetOrigin: Returns the origin of the the rectilinear edge.

Methods

o Sub GetDirection( oDirection)

Returns the direction of the rectilinear edge

Parameters:

oDirection[0]: The X Coordinate of the direction
oDirection[1]: The Y Coordinate of the direction
oDirection[2]: The Z Coordinate of the direction

o Sub GetOrigin( oOrigin)

Returns the origin of the the rectilinear edge.

Parameters:

oOrigin[0]: The X Coordinate of the rectilinear edge origin
oOrigin[1]: The Y Coordinate of the rectilinear edge origin
oOrigin[2]: The Z Coordinate of the rectilinear edge origin
