CutPlane Class

The CutPlane class defines how the end of a part is cut with a plane. A cut plane differs from a fitting because a cut can never extend the boundaries of the original part.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodCompareTo
Compares Identifiers of model objects.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodDelete
Deletes the cut plane instance with the given ID from the model database.
(Overrides ModelObjectDelete.)
Public methodEquals
Check if Identifiers of model objects are same.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodCode exampleGetAllReportProperties
Retrieves all properties for the model object in one hashtable. Type for the returned value must be checked using type casting.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetAllUserProperties
Retrieves all properties for the model object in one hashtable. Type for the returned value must be checked using type casting.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetChildren
Returns an enumerator of all the children model objects.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetCoordinateSystem
Returns the coordinate system for the given model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetDoubleReportProperties
Retrieves multiple double report properties for the model object. It is faster to fetch multiple properties at once.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetDoubleUserProperties
Retrieves all double properties for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetDynamicStringProperty
Gets a dynamic string property from the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)

(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetIntegerUserProperties
Retrieves all integer properties for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetPhase
Retrieves the phase of the model object (the phase number, the phase name, the phase comment and whether the phase is the current one or not).
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetReportProperty(String, Double)
Retrieves a double property of the report for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetReportProperty(String, Int32)
Retrieves an integer property of the report for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetReportProperty(String, String)
Retrieves a string property of the report for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetStringReportProperties

(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetUserProperty(String, Int32)
Retrieves an integer property for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetUserProperty(String, String)
Retrieves a string property for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodInsert
Inserts the cut plane into the model database. All the attributes must be set.
(Overrides ModelObjectInsert.)
Public methodModify
Modifies the existing cut plane in the model database to match the current one.
(Overrides ModelObjectModify.)
Public methodSelect
Selects a cut plane from the model database. The part ID must be set.
(Overrides ModelObjectSelect.)
Public methodSetDynamicStringProperty
Sets a dynamic string property for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodSetLabel
Sets a label for an object when a new instance is created, this method must be called before Insert. The label is used in plug-ins for identifying the changed object in modification.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
