All Superinterfaces:

All Known Implementing Classes:
MultiPatch

public interface IConstructMultiPatch
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that can be used to construct MultiPatches.

Description

Constructs a MultiPatch by extruding a non-point based geometry. Extrusion adds another dimension to the base geometry. Generally, this dimension is along the Z-Axis, but some extrusions allow the axis of extrusion to be defined by an input Line or Vector3D. Depending on the extrusion method, the base geometry may be preserved or may by projected to the XY-Plane and then extruded. Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes can be extruded to produce MultiPatches. Polygon geometry is assumed to be planar.

Remarks

To Extrude Points and Multipoints to create Polylines, use IExtrude.

Construct a MultiPatch by extruding a (non-point) geometry between two specified Z values.

Description

Creates a MultiPatch from a base non-point geometry by extruding the base geometry along the Z-axis from a given FromZ input to a given ToZ input. The base Z value of the geometry is uniformly set to the FromZ and top Z value is set to a uniform ToZ. The resulting extrusion is always parallel to the XY-plane on both the base and top.

Remarks

All non-linear segments are treated as linear segments when extrusion is performed. Only Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes are allowed as input geometries.

                                    AutomationException
Construct a MultiPatch by extruding a (non-point) geometry between two functional surfaces.

Description

Constructs a MultiPatch from a base non-point geometry and two input FunctionalSurfaces. The constructed MultiPatch is equivalent to the region of extrusion of the base geometry along the Z-axis that is bounded on top and bottom by the two FunctionalSurfaces. Only the portion of the input geometry in the region of intersection of the domains of the FunctionalSurfaces is extruded.

Remarks

All non-linear segments are treated as linear segments when extrusion is performed. Only Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes are allowed as input geometries. Z values from the FunctionalSurfaces are only calculated at Points in the input Geometry. If the input Geometry extents exceed the extents of the Functional Surfaces then an output Oeometry with NaNs will be produced. Currently not implemented for RasterSurfaces.

Description

Creates a MultiPatch from a base non-point geometry by extruding the base geometry along an axis defined by the input Line. The base Z value of the geometry is uniformly set to the Z value of the Along Line's FromPoint and top Z value is uniformly set to the Z value of the Along Line's ToPoint.

The resulting extrusion is always parallel to the XY-plane on both the base and top.

Remarks

All non-linear segments are treated as linear segments when extrusion is performed. Only Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes are allowed as input geometries.
