TransitionCurveBuilder Class — NXOpen Python API Reference 12.0.0 documentation

# TransitionCurveBuilder Class

class `NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.``TransitionCurveBuilder`

  Bases: `NXOpen.TaggedObject`, `NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.IComponentBuilder`

  This class provides ability to create a transition(bridge) curve between two adjacent setback curves.

  To create a new instance of this class, use `NXOpen.Part.CreateEmptyTransitionCurveBuilder()`

  New in version NX9.0.0.

# Method Detail

## Validate

`TransitionCurveBuilder.``Validate`

  Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

  If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.

  Signature `Validate()`

  Returns: | Was self validation successful
  Return type: | bool
