RevolvedSurface

Description:
A surface of revolution defined by a profile curve and a local coordinate system. The surface is obtained by rotating the curve around Z axis of the local coordinate system.
Remarks:
The parametric equation of a surface of revolution is S(u, v) = center + C1(v)*cos(u)*xVec + C1(v)*sin(u)*yVec + C2(v)*zVec, where the profile curve in the SurfRev's xz plane has the parametric equation (C1(t), C2(t)). Note that the direction of X axis may agree or disagree with the chosen orientation of the surface.

Name Return Type Description Inherited From
M Create(Frame, Curve) Surface Creates a Surface object coincident with the surface of revolution defined by a coordinate frame and a profile curve.
M Create(XYZ, XYZ, Curve) Surface Creates a Surface object coincident with the surface of revolution defined by an axis and a profile curve.
M Create(Frame, Curve, Double, Double) Surface Creates a Surface object coincident with the surface of revolution defined by a coordinate frame, a profile curve, and start and end angles of revolution.
M Create(XYZ, XYZ, Curve, Double, Double) Surface Creates a Surface object coincident with the surface of revolution defined by an axis, a profile curve, and start and end angles of revolution.
M Dispose() None (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
M Equals None Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object ) Object
M GetBoundingBoxUV() BoundingBoxUV Gets the UV bounding box of the surface. (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
M GetHashCode None Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object ) Object
M GetProfileCurve() Curve Returns a copy of the profile curve expressed in the surface's coordinate system.
M GetProfileCurveInWorldCoordinates() Curve Returns a copy of the profile curve expressed in the world coordinate system.
M GetType None Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object ) Object
M IsCoincidentWith(Surface) Boolean Determine if two surfaces are coincident (ignoring Envelopes). For an affirmative answer, the surfaces must have the same type (e.g., two planes). (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
M IsValidProfileCurve(Frame, Curve) Boolean Checks if the input profile curve is valid to create a surface of revolution in the given frame of reference.
M IsValidProfileCurve(XYZ, XYZ, Curve) Boolean Checks if the input profile curve is valid to create a surface of revolution around the given axis.
M Project(XYZ, UV%, Double%) None Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails. (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
M ProjectWithGuessPoint(XYZ, UV, UV%, Double%) None Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). This method is meant to be used when a good approximate solution for the projection is available. Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails. (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
M ToString None Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object ) Object
