HybridShapeLineNormal

Line defined by a point and a direction normal to a surface.

Role: To access data of the line feature created by using the normal direction

of a surface

Use the CATIAHybridShapeFactory to create a HybridShapeLineNormal

object.

property begin_offset: Length

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property BeginOffset() As Length (Read Only)

Returns the start length of the line.

Start length : extension of the line, beginning at the starting point

Example:

This example retrieves in oStart the beginning offset length for the

LineNormal hybrid shape feature.

Dim oStart As CATIALength

Set oStart = LineNormal.BeginOffset

Return type:

Length

property end_offset: Length

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property EndOffset() As Length (Read Only)

Returns the end length of the line.

End length : extension of the line, beginning at the ending point

Example:

This example retrieves in oEnd the starting length for the LineNormal

hybrid shape feature.

Dim oEnd As CATIALength

Set oEnd = LineNormal.EndOffset

Return type:

Length

get_length_type() → int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384))

o Func GetLengthType() As long

Gets the length type Default is 0.

Parameters:

oType

The length type = 0 : length - the line is limited by its extremities =

1 : infinite - the line is infinite = 2 : infinite start point - the line is infinite on

the side of the start point = 3 : infinite end point - the line is infinite on the side

of the end point

Return type:

int

get_symmetrical_extension() → bool

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384))

o Func GetSymmetricalExtension() As boolean

Gets whether the symmetrical extension of the line is

active.

Parameters:

oSym

Symetry flag

Return type:

bool

property orientation: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property Orientation() As long

Returns or Sets the line orientation.

Orientation allows to reverse the line direction from the reference

point.

For a line of L length, it is the same as creating this line with -L length :

Orientation : can be 1 or -1

Example:

This example retrieves in oOrientation the starting length for the

LineNormal hybrid shape feature.

Dim oOrientation As long

Set oOrientation = LineNormal.Orientation

Return type:

int

property point: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property Point() As Reference

Returns or Sets the starting point of the line.

Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): Vertex.

Example:

This example retrieves in oPoint the starting point for the LineNormal

hybrid shape feature.

Dim oPoint As Reference

Set oPoint = LineNormal.Point

Return type:

Reference

set_length_type(i_type: int) → None

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384))

o Sub SetLengthType(long iType)

Sets the length type Default is 0.

Parameters:

iType

The length type = 0 : length - the line is limited by its extremities =

1 : infinite - the line is infinite =

2 : infinite start point - the line is infinite on the side of the start point =

3 : infinite end point - the line is infinite on the side of the end point

Parameters:

i_type (int) –

Return type:

None

set_symmetrical_extension(i_sym: bool) → None

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384))

o Sub SetSymmetricalExtension(boolean iSym)

Sets the symmetrical extension of the line (start = -end).

Parameters:

iSym

Symetry flag

Parameters:

i_sym (bool) –

Return type:

None

property surface: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property Surface() As Reference

Returns or Sets the surface to which the line will be

normal.

Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): Face.

Example:

This example retrieves in oSurface the surface for the LineNormal

hybrid shape feature.

Dim oSurface As Reference

Set oSurface = LineNormal.Surface

Return type:

Reference
