VarRadEdgeFillet (Object)

Represents the edge fillet shape with a variable radius.
The resulting shape is made up of edges fillets controlled by couples of radius/vertex.

Property Index

BitangencyType
Returns or set the fillet bitangency type.
EdgesToFillet
Returns the collection of edges to be filleted.
FilletSpine
Returns or set the spine for circle bitangency fillet.
FilletVariation
Returns or sets the edge fillet radius variation mode.
ImposedVertices
Returns the collection of vertices where a radius has been imposed.

Method Index

AddEdgeToFillet
Adds a new edge to the variable radius edge fillet.
AddImposedVertex
Adds a new control couple.
ImposedVertexRadius
Returns the fillet radius on an imposed vertex.
WithdrawEdgeToFillet
Withdraws an edge from the variable radius edge fillet.
WithdrawImposedVertex
Withdraws a control couple.

Properties


o Property BitangencyType() As
Returns or set the fillet bitangency type.
Parameters:
iType
The type used to perform the fillet : catSphereBitangencyType or catCircleBitangencyType
o Property EdgesToFillet() As (Read Only)
Returns the collection of edges to be filleted.
Example:
The following example returns in edges the edges to fillet of variable radius edge filletfirstVarEdgeFillet: 
 Set edges = firstVarEdgeFillet.EdgesToFillet
o Property FilletSpine() As
Returns or set the spine for circle bitangency fillet.
Parameters:
iSpin
The spine to be used for a circle bitangency fillet
o Property FilletVariation() As
Returns or sets the edge fillet radius variation mode.
Example:
The following example returns in mode the radius variation mode of the variable radius edge filletfirstVarEdgeFillet, and then sets it to CATLinearFilletVariation so that the radius variation is linear between two control vertices: 
 mode = firstVarEdgeFillet.FilletVariation
 firstVarEdgeFillet.FilletVariation = CATLinearFilletVariation
o Property ImposedVertices() As (Read Only)
Returns the collection of vertices where a radius has been imposed.
Example:
The following example returns in vertices the collection of imposed vertices of the variable radius edge filletfirstVarEdgeFillet: 
 Set vertices = firstVarEdgeFillet.ImposedVertices

Methods


o Sub AddEdgeToFillet( iEdge,
iRadius)
Adds a new edge to the variable radius edge fillet.
Parameters:
iEdge
The edge to be filleted
The following
Boundary object is supported: TriDimFeatEdge.
iRadius
The radius to impose along the edge. This radius is imposed at both end points of the edge.
Example:
The following example adds the new edge edge to be filleted to the variable radius edge fillet firstVarEdgeFillet: 
 call firstVarEdgeFillet.AddEdgeToFillet(edge, 5.)
o Sub AddImposedVertex( iVertex,
iRadius)
Adds a new control couple. A control couple is made up of a vertex and a radius.
Parameters:
iVertex
The vertex where to impose the radius
iRadius
The radius to impose at the given vertex
Example:
The following example adds a new control couple (vertex, radius) to the variable radius edge fillet firstVarEdgeFillet set with the vertex vertex and a radius of 50. 
 call firstVarEdgeFillet.AddImposedVertex(vertex, 50.)
o Func ImposedVertexRadius( iImposedVertex) As
Returns the fillet radius on an imposed vertex.
Parameters:
iImposedVertex
The vertex where to retrieve the fillet radius
Returns:
The fillet radius
Example:
The following example returns in radius the fillet radius of the variable radius edge fillet firstVarEdgeFillet at the vertex vertex: 
 Set radius = firstVarEdgeFillet.ImposedVertexRadius(vertex)
o Sub WithdrawEdgeToFillet( iEdge)
Withdraws an edge from the variable radius edge fillet.
Parameters:
iEdge
The edge to be withdrawn
The following
Boundary object is supported: TriDimFeatEdge.
Example:
The following example withdraws the edge edge from those to be filleted of the variable radius edge fillet firstVarEdgeFillet: 
 call firstVarEdgeFillet.WithdrawEdgeToFillet(edge)
o Sub WithdrawImposedVertex( iVertex)
Withdraws a control couple.
Parameters:
iVertex
The vertex where the radius is imposed
Example:
The following example withdraws the imposed radius on the vertex vertex for the variable radius edge fillet firstVarEdgeFillet: 
 call firstVarEdgeFillet.WithdrawImposedVertex(vertex)
