ILoop

This interface represents a loop.

Namespace

interop.CimBaseAPI

Compatibility

Cimatron 2026 or later

Properties

Get	LoopType	interop.CimBaseAPI.LoopType
Get	Parent	interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntity

Methods

interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntityList	GetAllEdges	( )
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntityList	GetAllCoEdges	( )
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntityList	GetFace	( )
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntityList	GetVertices	( )
int	GetVertexCount	( )
int	GetCoedgeCount	( )
int	GetEdgeCount	( )
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntity	GetNext	( )
BOOL	IsEqual	( interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntity )

Events

None

Remarks

You can use this interface to check what kind of entity you have. In MS Visual C++ use the QueryInterface(...) method; in MS Visual Basic use the Set method and error trapping if an entity isn't a loop.

Example

interop.CimAppAccess.AppAccess AppAcc = new interop.CimAppAccess.AppAccess();
interop.CimatronE.IApplication CimApp = (interop.CimatronE.IApplication)AppAcc.GetApplication();
interop.CimatronE.ICimDocument aDoc = CimApp.GetActiveDoc();
interop.CimMdlrAPI.IModelContainer aContainer = (interop.CimMdlrAPI.IModelContainer)aDoc;
interop.CimMdlrAPI.IMdlrModel aMdlrModel = (interop.CimMdlrAPI.IMdlrModel)aContainer.Model;
interop.CimMdlrAPI.IModel aModel = (interop.CimMdlrAPI.IModel)aMdlrModel;
int aEntityID = 30; //Id must the Id of face type object
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntity aEntity = aModel.GetEntityById(aEntityID, aModel);
interop.CimBaseAPI.IFace aFace = aEntity as interop.CimBaseAPI.IFace;
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntityList aLoops = aFace.GetAllLoops();
interop.CimBaseAPI.ILoop aLoop1 = aLoops[1] as interop.CimBaseAPI.ILoop;
