Specialized Geometry Functions

These API functions are used with Geoms that need specialized treatment. Body of Recolution components are one example, which only have a single XSec to be defined from.

Detailed Description

Function Documentation

ChangeBORXSecShape()

void ChangeBORXSecShape	(	const string &in	geom_id,
		int	type
	)

Convert any XSec type into an EditCurveXSec. This function will work for BOR Geoms, in which case the input XSec index is ignored.
\code{.cpp}
// Add Stack
string sid = AddGeom( "STACK", "" );

// Get First (and Only) XSec Surf
string xsec_surf = GetXSecSurf( sid, 0 );

ChangeXSecShape( xsec_surf, 1, XS_ROUNDED_RECTANGLE );

// Convert Rounded Rectangle to Edit Curve type XSec
ConvertXSecToEdit( sid, 1 );

// Identify XSec 1
string xsec_1 = GetXSec( xsec_surf, 1 );

// Get the control points for the default shape
array < vec3d > xsec1_pts = GetEditXSecCtrlVec( xsec_1, true ); // The returned control points will not be scaled by width and height
\param [in] geom_id Geom ID
\param [in] indx XSec index

*/ void ConvertXSecToEdit(const string&in geom_id, const int&in indx = 0);

/*! Set the XSec type for a BOR component

// Add Body of Recolution
string bor_id = AddGeom( "BODYOFREVOLUTION", "" );
 
ChangeBORXSecShape( bor_id, XS_ROUNDED_RECTANGLE );
