Description

Constructs a MultiPatch or Polyline by extruding a base 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. Points and Multipoints are extruded into Polylines. Polygon geometry is assumed to be planar. All input geometries should be topologically KnownSimple (Calling either IsSimple or Simplify makes the IsSimple state known to the geometry). If an input Polygon is not topologically simple, it will be simplified.

Remarks

Extrusion on Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes is the same as the extrusion performed by IConstructMultiPatch.

Extrude a geometry between two functional surfaces.

Description

Constructs a MultiPatch or Polyline from a base 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, Envelopes, Points, and Multipoints are allowed as input geometries. Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes will output MultiPatches while Points and Multipoints will output Polylines. Z values from the FunctionalSurfaces are only calculated at Points in the input Geometry.

Extrude a geometry along a specified line, using the Zs on the two ends of the line to set Zs on the top and bottom.

Description

Creates a MultiPatch or Polyline from a base 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 top geometry is also shifted in the X and Y directions by an offset defined by the X and Y change of the Along Line between From and To Points. The resulting extrusion is always parallel to the XY-plane on both the base and top. The input line should be ZAware and ZSimple.

Remarks

All non-linear segments are treated as linear segments when extrusion is performed. Only Polylines, Polygons, Envelopes, Points, and Multipoints are allowed as input geometries. Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes will output MultiPatches while Points and Multipoints will output Polylines.
