HybridShapeCorner

Represents the hybrid shape corner feature.

Role: To access the data of the hybrid shape corner object. This data

includes:

Two elements

Their orientations (same or inverse than the underlying

curve)

A support for the hybrid shape corner on support feature

A direction for the hybrid shape 3D corner feature

A radius.

Use the HybridShapeFactory to create a HybridShapeCorner

object.
