 | TransformationPlane Class |
The TransformationPlane class describes a transformation from global model coordinates
to local and back to global.
Inheritance HierarchyNamespace: Tekla.Structures.Model
Assembly: Tekla.Structures.Model (in Tekla.Structures.Model.dll) Version: 2023.0.1
SyntaxThe TransformationPlane type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | TransformationPlane |
Creates a new identity transformation using the global coordinate system.
|
| TransformationPlane(CoordinateSystem) |
Creates a new transformation plane defined by the given coordinate system.
|
| TransformationPlane(Point, Vector, Vector) |
Creates a new transformation plane defined by the given origin and two vectors.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | TransformationMatrixToGlobal |
Gives a transformation matrix for converting local points in the transformation plane to global coordinates.
|
| TransformationMatrixToLocal |
Gives a transformation matrix for converting points in the global plane to local coordinates in the transformation plane.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| ToString |
Returns a string representation of the matrices that transform to local and global coordinates.
(Overrides ObjectToString.) |
Examples
The following example shows how to use transformation planes for transforming points:
using Tekla.Structures.Model; using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d; public class Example { public void Example1() { Model myModel = new Model(); WorkPlaneHandler myWorkPlaneHandler = myModel.GetWorkPlaneHandler(); Beam myBeam = new Beam(); Point Point1 = new Point(1000, 1000, 1000); Point Point2 = new Point(2000, 3000, 1000); myBeam.Profile.ProfileString = "400X400"; myBeam.Insert(); myModel.CommitChanges(); TransformationPlane currentPlane = myWorkPlaneHandler.GetCurrentTransformationPlane(); TransformationPlane beamPlane = new TransformationPlane(myBeam.GetCoordinateSystem()); Point lPoint1 = beamPlane.TransformationMatrixToLocal.Transform(currentPlane.TransformationMatrixToGlobal.Transform(Point1)); Point lPoint2 = beamPlane.TransformationMatrixToLocal.Transform(currentPlane.TransformationMatrixToGlobal.Transform(Point2)); } }
