Model.createfilletmidlines

Model.createfilletmidlines(collection, max_radius, min_radius, max_width, min_width, suppress_rib)

This function is applied to a selection of surfaces given by collection. It first recognizes triangular or rectangular fillet surfaces with radius among the range (min_radius, max_radius), and fillet profile arc length among the range (min_width, max_width). Then it splits the recognized fillets along longitudinal center lines.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the surface entities.

• max_radius (double) – The maximum fillet radius (must be greater than min_radius).

• min_radius (double) – The minimum fillet radius (must be greater than or equal to 0).

• max_width (double) – The maximum fillet profile arc length (must be greater than min_width).

• min_width (double) – The minimum fillet profile arc length (must be greater than or equal to 0).

• suppress_rib (int) –

  The option for suppressing original fillet tangent lines.

  0 - Do not suppress.

  1 - Suppress.

Example

Create fillet midlines for all of the displayed surfaces with a max radius of 40.0 , a min radius of 0.0001 , a max width of 100000.0 , a min width of 0.0 , and without suppress fillet tangent lines
