DraftDomain (Object)

Represents the draft domain.
A draft domain is a basic object used by a draft shape. It contains objects such as an angle, a pulling direction, and a collection of faces to be drafted.

Properties


Property DraftAngle() As (Read Only)
Returns the draft angle.
Example:
The following example returns in angle the draft angle of the draft domain firstDraftDomain: 
 Set angle = firstDraftDomain.DraftAngle
Property FacesToDraft() As (Read Only)
Returns the faces to be drafted. They are returned as a collection of reference geometric elements.
Example:
The following example returns the collection of faces to be drafted of the draft domain firstDraftDomain in list: 
 Set list = firstDraftDomain.FacesToDraft
Property MultiselectionMode() As
Changes the multiselection mode.
Parameters:
iMultiselectionMode.
The elements to be drafted can be selected explicitly (CATNoneDraftMultiselectionMode) or can implicitly selected as neighbors of the neutral face (CATMultiselectionByNeutralMode)
Example:
The following example returns in MultiselMode the multiselection mode of the draft domain firstDraftDomain, and then sets it to CATMultiselectionByNeutralMode 
 Set MultiselMode = firstDraftDomain.MultiselectionMode
 firstDraftDomain.MultiselectionMode = CATMultiselectionByNeutralMode
Property NeutralElement() As
Returns or sets the draft neutral element.
To set the property, you can use the following object: .
Example:
The following example returns in neutral the neutral element of the draft domain firstDraftDomain, and then sets it to newNeutral: 
 Set neutral = firstDraftDomain.NeutralElement
 firstDraftDomain.NeutralElement = newNeutral
Property NeutralPropagationMode() As
Returns or sets the neutral element propagation mode. This mode is used when computing the needed neutral elements.
Example:
The following example returns in propMode the neutral propagation mode of the draft domain firstDraftDomain, and then sets it to CATSmoothDraftNeutralPropagationMode so that the neutral propagation will now be smooth: 
 Set propMode = firstDraftDomain.NeutralPropagationMode
 firstDraftDomain.NeutralPropagationMode = CATSmoothDraftNeutralPropagationMode
Property PullingDirectionElement() As
Returns or sets the draft pulling direction element.
To set the property, you can use one of the following objects: or .
Example:
The following example returns in pullingdirection the pulling direction element of the draft domain firstDraftDomain, and then sets it to newPullingDirection: 
 Set pullingdirection = firstDraftDomain.NeutralElement
 firstDraftDomain.PullingDirectionElement = newPullingDirection

Methods


Sub AddFaceToDraft( iFace)
Adds a face to those to be drafted.
Parameters:
iFace
The face to add to those to be drafted
The following object is supported: ScFace.
Example:
The following example adds the face NewFaceToDraft to the draft domain CurrentDraftDomain: 
 CurrentDraftDomain.AddFaceToDraft(NewFaceToDraft)
Sub GetPullingDirection( ioPullingDirection)
Returns the draft pulling direction. The pulling direction is returned as an array containing the pulling direction vector components. Assume this array is PullDir. It contains:
PullDir[0],PullDir[1],PullDir[2]
The X, Y, and Z pulling direction vector components
Example:
The following example returns in PullDir the pulling direction vector components of the draft domain firstDraftDomain: 
 Set PullDir = firstDraftDomain.PullingDirection
 Set x = PullDir[0]
 Set y = PullDir[1]
 Set z = PullDir[2]
Sub RemoveFaceToDraft( iFace)
Removes a face from those to be drafted.
Parameters:
iFace
The face to be removed from those to be drafted
The following object is supported: .
Example:
The following example removes the face FaceToRemove from the draft domain CurrentDraftDomain: 
 CurrentDraftDomain.RemoveFaceToDraft(FaceToRemove)
Sub SetPullingDirection( iX, iY, iZ)
Sets the draft pulling direction.
Parameters:
iX,iY,iZ
The X, Y, and Z pulling direction vector components
Example:
The following example sets the draft pulling direction of the draft domain firstDraftDomain to the direction with the vector components 10, -5, 10: 
 firstDraftDomain.PullingDirection 10, -5, 10
Sub SetVolumeSupport( iVolumeSupport)
Value the support of draft.
Parameters:
iVolumeSupport
