IGeom3DCurve::Facet

Use this method to make approximation of given curve between its two parameters.

Compatibility

Cimatron 2024 or later

Syntax

double[] Facet(double iStartParam, double iEndParam, double iTolerance);

def Facet(iStartParam : double, iEndParam : double, iTolerance : double) -> System.Double[]

Return Type

Return: double[]	oPoints—Variant that contains double array of approximation points coordinates

Input Type

Input: double	iStartParam—An approximation start parameter
Input: double	iEndParam—An approximation end parameter
Input: double	iTolerance—An approximation tolerance

Remarks

All coordinates are given relative to the model's main UCS.
