Detailed Description

Represents a builder for a Features::Thicken feature.

This allows creation and editing of a Thicken feature which takes a set of faces and offsets them along their normals to create a solid body which has constant thickness. Since this can not be done precisely for the supported geometry types there is a tolerance to specify the accuracy of the result.
To create a new instance of this class, use Features::FeatureCollection::CreateThickenBuilder

Member Function Documentation

bool NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::ApproximateOffset ( )

Returns the "approximate offset surface" or "resolve self-intersections using patches" option.

   The option to approximate offset surfaces for thickening operation is renamed to
   "resolve self-intersections using patches". This option is available for editing pre-NX8
   thicken features only. The value set by the user for this option is ignored for thicken features
   created from NX8 onwards and its value will always be set to true internally for thicken features
   created in NX8 and later.

Created in NX5.0.0.

License requirements : None

NXOpen::GeometricUtilities::BooleanOperation* NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::BooleanOperation ( )

Returns the boolean operation.

   The boolean operation associated with the Thicken feature

Created in NX5.0.0.

License requirements : None

NXOpen::ScCollector* NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::FaceCollector ( )

Returns the faces to thicken.

   A list of one or more faces to thicken.

Created in NX5.0.0.

License requirements : None

NXOpen::Expression* NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::FirstOffset ( )

Returns the first offset.

   The first offset for the Thicken feature.
   A positive value is applied along the normal of the face to be thickened.
   Negative values are applied in the opposite direction.
   The difference between the first and second offset must be non-zero.

Created in NX5.0.0.

License requirements : None

NXOpen::GeometricUtilities::TwoExpressionsSectionSetList* NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::RegionSectionList ( )

Returns the list of SC_section The sections with corresponding expression for the Thicken feature
Created in NX9.0.0.

License requirements : None

NXOpen::Section* NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::RegionToPierce ( )

Returns the section for regions to pierce The section associated for the Thicken feature
Created in NX9.0.0.

License requirements : None

bool NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::RemoveGashes ( )

Returns the remove gashes option.

   If the option is selected, Thicken will heal the input and attempt the operation
   on the healed input. If after healing the input, the Thicken operation succeeds,
   the Part Navigator will indicate as such with an information symbol and an entry
   in the Alert column.

Created in NX8.0.0.

License requirements : None

bool NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::ReverseDirection ( )

Returns the reverse direction.

   A flag to indicate whether the offset direction is reversed with respect to the normal of the face to be thickened.

Created in NX5.0.0.

License requirements : None

NXOpen::Expression* NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::SecondOffset ( )

Returns the second offset.

   the second offset for the Thicken feature.

Created in NX5.0.0.

License requirements : None

void NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::SetApproximateOffset ( bool approximateOffset )

Sets the "approximate offset surface" or "resolve self-intersections using patches" option.

   The option to approximate offset surfaces for thickening operation is renamed to
   "resolve self-intersections using patches". This option is available for editing pre-NX8
   thicken features only. The value set by the user for this option is ignored for thicken features
   created from NX8 onwards and its value will always be set to true internally for thicken features
   created in NX8 and later.

void NXOpen::Features::ThickenBuilder::SetRemoveGashes ( bool removeGashes )

Sets the remove gashes option.

   If the option is selected, Thicken will heal the input and attempt the operation
   on the healed input. If after healing the input, the Thicken operation succeeds,
   the Part Navigator will indicate as such with an information symbol and an entry
   in the Alert column.
