HexagonShape

A hexagon shape.

Example

application = cf.Application.GetInstance()
project = application:NewProject()
 
-- Create a hexagon shape

properties = cf.HexagonShape.GetDefaultProperties()
properties.Width = "1.5"
hexagonShape1 = application.Project.Definitions.PeriodicStructures.Shapes:AddHexagon(properties)

The HexagonShape object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)
Width
The hexagon width. (Read/Write ParametricExpression)

Method List

BuildGeometry ()
Creates the full geometry representation of the shape. (Returns a Geometry object.)
Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
SetProperties (properties Object)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties ()
Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
