SewSurface (Object)

Represents the sewing operation.
It sews a shape using a sewing element, such as a surface or a face

Properties


Property Deviation() As
Sets or Gets the maximum deviation allowed for smoothing operation in sewing command. This value must be set in SI unit (m).
Example: This example retrieves in DeviationValue the maximum deviation value for the Sewfeature. 
 Dim DeviationValue As double
 Set DeviationValue = Sew.MaximumDeviationValue
Property DeviationMode() As
Returns or sets the Deviation mode taken into account during Sew construction.
Legal values:
0
Unknown Deviation mode.
1
None Deviation mode. Error thrown if maximum deviation exceeds CATIA resolution.
2
Automatic Deviation mode. Error thrown if maximum deviation exceeds 100 times CATIA resolution.
3
Manual Deviation mode. Error thrown if maximum deviation exceeds input user deviation.
Example:
This example retrieves in oMode the Deviation mode for the Sew feature. 
 Dim oMode
 Set oMode = Sew.DeviationMode
Property SewingIntersectionMode() As
Returns or sets the sewing mode . The sewing side is the side of the body kept after the sewing. A positive side refers to the same orientation than the sewing element normal vector.
Example:
The following example returns in sptSide the sewing side of the sew shape mySew, and then sets it to catPositiveSide: 
 Set sptSide = mySew.SewingSide
 mySew.SewingSide = catPositiveSide
Property SewingSide() As
Returns or sets the sewing side . The sewing side is the side of the body kept after the sewing. A positive side refers to the same orientation than the sewing element normal vector.
Example:
The following example returns in sptSide the sewing side of the sew shape mySew, and then sets it to catPositiveSide: 
 Set sptSide = mySew.SewingSide
 mySew.SewingSide = catPositiveSide
