Methods

AddExtrude(ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel>, ComWrapper<ICadIpcSketchFace>, double)

Append an extrude feature on the given sketch face with signed depth. Body geometry materialises on the next Save.

Declaration
public static ComWrapper<ICadIpcExtrudeFeature> AddExtrude(this ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom, ComWrapper<ICadIpcSketchFace> faceCom, double depth)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom
ComWrapper<ICadIpcSketchFace> faceCom
double depth
Returns
Type Description
ComWrapper<ICadIpcExtrudeFeature>

AddSketch(ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel>, int, double)

Add a 2D sketch on one of the orthogonal coordinate planes via IPC. normalAxis: 1 = YZ plane, 2 = XZ plane, 3 = XY plane. offset shifts the plane along the chosen axis. Draw with AddLine / AddRectangle on the returned sketch, then call Save(ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel>) to publish changes as child tree nodes.

Declaration
public static ComWrapper<ICadIpcSketch> AddSketch(this ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom, int normalAxis, double offset)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom
int normalAxis
double offset
Returns
Type Description
ComWrapper<ICadIpcSketch>

Body(ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel>, int)

Return the body at the given zero-based index.

Declaration
public static ComWrapper<ICadIpcBody> Body(this ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom, int index)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom
int index
Returns
Type Description

BodyCount(ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel>)

Number of bodies (parts) in this CAD model.

Declaration
public static int BodyCount(this ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom
Returns
Type Description
int

Feature(ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel>, int)

Return the feature at the given zero-based index.

Declaration

Parameters
Type Name Description
ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom
int index
Returns
Type Description

FeatureCount(ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel>)

Number of features in this CAD model's construction tree.

Declaration
public static int FeatureCount(this ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom
Returns
Type Description
int

Save(ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel>)

Publish in-memory CAD changes as child tree nodes of the host CAD group. Equivalent to "save sketch + exit CAD" in the GUI.

Declaration
public static void Save(this ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ComWrapper<ICadIpcModel> modelCom
