RuledSweep Class

A ruled sweep (surface) is a collection of 2 or more contours.

  • All contours must have identical number and type of geometry. (paths, loops, parity regions, lines, arcs, other curves)

Methods

Name Description
clone(): RuledSweep Return a deep clone  
cloneContours(): CurveCollection[] Return clones of all the contours  
cloneSweepContours(): SweepContour[] Return clones of all the sweep contours  
cloneTransformed(transform: Transform): RuledSweep Return a cloned transform.  
constantVSection(vFraction: number): undefined | CurveCollection Return the section curves at a fraction of the sweep  
dispatchToGeometryHandler(handler: GeometryHandler): any dispatch to strongly typed handler.handleRuledSweep(this)  
extendRange(rangeToExtend: Range3d, transform?: Transform): void Pass each contour to extendRange  
getConstructiveFrame(): undefined | Transform Return a coordinate frame (right handed unit vectors)  
isAlmostEqual(other: GeometryQuery): boolean test same contour geometry and capping.  
isSameGeometryClass(other: any): boolean Test if other is an instance of a RuledSweep  
sweepContoursRef(): SweepContour[] Return a reference to the array of SweepContour.  
tryTransformInPlace(transform: Transform): boolean Transform all contours in place.  
create(contours: AnyCurve[], capped: boolean): undefined | RuledSweep Static Create a ruled sweep from an array of contours.  
mutatePartners(collectionA: CurveCollection, collectionB: CurveCollection, primitiveMutator: CurvePrimitiveMutator): undefined | CurveCollection Static Construct a CurveCollection with the same structure as collectionA and collectionB, with primitives constructed by the caller-supplied primitiveMutator function.  

Inherited methods

Name Inherited from Description
range(transform?: Transform, result?: Range3d): Range3d Inherited SolidPrimitive Return the range of the entire GeometryQuery tree.
tryTranslateInPlace(dx: number, dy: number0.0, dz: number0.0): boolean Inherited SolidPrimitive Try to move the geometry by dx,dy,dz.
areAlmostEqual(a: GeometryQuery, b: GeometryQuery): boolean Static Inherited SolidPrimitive Apply instance method isAlmostEqual if both are defined.
