HybridShapeProject

Represents the hybrid shape project feature object.
Role: To access data of the hybrid shape project feature. The data
includes:

The element to project which is a point or a curve
The support element which is a curve or a surface
The projection type ( normal or along a direction)
The projection direction if needed
The option to have either the nearest solution or all
solutions

Use the CATIAHybridShapeFactory to create HybridShapeFeatures
objects.

property direction: HybridShapeDirection

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property Direction() As HybridShapeDirection

Returns or sets the projection direction.

Example: This example retrieves in Dir the direction for the Project hybrid
shape feature.

Dim Dir As Reference
Set Dir = Project.Direction
Return type:

HybridShapeDirection

property elem_to_project: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property ElemToProject() As Reference

Returns or sets the element to project.This element can be a point or a
curve.
Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): TriDimFeatEdge,
BiDimFeatEdge or Vertex.

Example: This example retrieves in Elem the element to project for the
Project hybrid shape feature.

Dim Elem As Reference
Set Elem = Project.ElemToProject
Return type:

Reference

property extrapolation_mode: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property ExtrapolationMode() As long

Returns or sets the extrapolation mode. The extrapolation mode is overriden
when the solution type is ‘Nearest solution’ (0) or when the extrapolation mode
being set is ‘None’ (0), otherwise the method fails. Role: None (0), Tangency
(1) or Curvature (2).

Example: This example retrieves in ExtrapolMode the solution type for the
Project hybrid shape feature.

Dim ExtrapolMode As long
Set ExtrapolMode = Project.ExtrapolationMode
Return type:

int

property maximum_deviation_value: float

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property MaximumDeviationValue() As double

Sets or Gets the maximum deviation allowed for smoothing
operation.
Sets in distance unit, it corresponds to the radius of a pipe around the
input curve in which the result is allowed to be. This value must be set in SI
unit (m).

Example: This example retrieves in DeviationValue the maximum deviation
value for the Project hybrid shape feature.

Dim DeviationValue As CATIALength
Set DeviationValue = Project.MaximumDeviationValue
Return type:

float

property normal: bool

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property Normal() As boolean

Returns or sets the direction option. Role: To define the type of
projection. Normal is set to TRUE if the projection is a normal
projection.Otherwise, the projection is defined along a specified
direction.

Example: This example retrieves in NormalOption the support for the Project
hybrid shape feature.

Dim NormalOption As boolean
Set NormalOption = Project.Normal
Return type:

bool

property p_3d_smoothing: bool

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property p3DSmoothing() As boolean

Returns or sets the ‘3D Smoothing’ option.
Role: To activate or not the 3D smoothing option Available only for tangent or curvature
smoothing type TRUE : Smoothing performed without specifying support FALSE : Smoothing performed
with specific support

Example: This example retrieves in 3DSmoothingOption the support for the
Project hybrid shape feature.

Dim 3DSmoothingOption As boolean
Set 3DSmoothingOption = Project.p3DSmoothing
Return type:

bool

property smoothing_type: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property SmoothingType() As long

Sets or Gets Smoothing Type.
Role: Smoothing type
: 0 -> No Smoothing
: 2 -> G1 Smoothing : Enhance current continuity to tangent continuity
: 3 -> G2 Smoothing : Enhance current continuity to curvature continuity

Example: This example retrieves in SType the smoothing type for the Project
hybrid shape feature.

Dim SType As long
Set SType = Project.SmoothingType
Return type:

int

property solution_type: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property SolutionType() As long

Returns or sets the solution type. When the solution type being set is ‘All
solutions’ (1), the extrapolation mode gets overriden to ‘None’ (0). Role: All
solutions (1) or Nearest solution (0) (only nearest projection is kept when
more than one solution is possible).

Example: This example retrieves in SolType the solution type for the
Project hybrid shape feature.

Dim SolType As long
Set SolType = Project.SolutionType
Return type:

int

property support: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property Support() As Reference

Returns or sets the support element.This element can be a plane or a
surface.
Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): Face, TriDimFeatEdge or
BiDimFeatEdge.

Example: This example retrieves in SupportElem the support for the Project
hybrid shape feature.

Dim SupportElem As Reference
Set SupportElem = Project.Support
Return type:

Reference
