The BendSurface type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	BendSurface(Arc, Double, Double)	Initializes a new instance of the BendSurface class from a base arc, a height and a radius at the top. This is the recommended constructor if no intermediate points are desired along the lateral boundaries of the bend surface.
	BendSurface(ListPoint, ListPoint, Line, Vector)	Initializes a new instance of the BendSurface class from the cone lateral boundaries and the center line. This is the recommended constructor if fine grained control is desired over the lateral boundaries of the surface
	BendSurface(Vector, Vector, ListPoint, ListPoint)	Initializes a new instance of the BendSurface class with given parameters. The boundaries are defined by the lateral boundaries (i.e. the points on the sides of the curved part of the surface). The side boundaries are defined by the two first points and the two last points of the lateral boundaries.
	BendSurface(Vector, Vector, LineSegment, LineSegment)	Initializes a new instance of the BendSurface class with given parameters. The boundaries are defined by the side boundaries (i.e. generator lines of the surface).

Properties

	Name	Description
	CenterLine	Gets the center line of the bend surface (i.e. the line that crosses every circular cross section of the bend at their center point)
	EndFaceNormal1	Gets the first end face normal.
	EndFaceNormal2	Gets the second end face normal.
	IntersectionLine	Gets intersection line.
	InwardCurved	Gets the direction of the curve - true if the curve is oriented towards the intersection line, false otherwise.
	LateralBoundary1	Gets or sets the first lateral boundary
	LateralBoundary2	Gets or sets the second lateral boundary
	RotationAxis	Gets the unit vector that defines the rotation axis (for counter clockwise rotations) of the lateral boundaries of the surface. This axis is always parallel to the direction of the center line.
	SideBoundary1	Gets or sets the first side boundary.
	SideBoundary2	Gets or sets the second side boundary.
