Transform
A transform on a 3d object, e.g. geometry or mesh.
Example
application = cf.Application.GetInstance() project = application:NewProject() -- Create geometry to transform origin = cf.Point(0, 0, 0) cube = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboidAtCentre(origin, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5) -- Translate and rotate the geometry translate = cube.Transforms:AddTranslate(origin, cf.Point(1.5, 0, 0)) rotate = cube.Transforms:AddRotate(origin, cf.Point(0, 0, 1), 45) -- Remove the translate transform translate:Delete()
Inheritance
The Transform object is derived from the Object object.
The following objects are derived (specialisations) from the Transform object:
Usage locations
The Transform object can be accessed from the following locations:
- Methods
- TransformCollection collection has method AddTranslate(Point, Point).
- TransformCollection collection has method Item(number).
- TransformCollection collection has method Item(string).
Property List
- Label
- The object label. (Read/Write string)
- LocalWorkplane
- The source workplane. (Read/Write LocalWorkplane)
- Type
- The object type string. (Read only string)
Collection List
- Transforms
- The collection of transforms on the operator. (TransformCollection of Transform.)
Method List
- CopyAndMirror (properties table)
- Apply a copy and mirror using a table defining the properties. (Returns a Object object.)
- CopyAndRotate (properties table, count number)
- Apply a copy and rotate using a table defining the properties. (Returns a List of Object object.)
- CopyAndRotate (origin Point, rotationaxis Vector, angle number, count number)
- Copy and rotate the geometry. (Returns a List of Object object.)
- CopyAndTranslate (properties table, count number)
- Apply a copy and translate using a table defining the properties. (Returns a List of Object object.)
- CopyAndTranslate (from Point, to Point, count number)
- Copy and translate the geometry. (Returns a List of Object 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.)
