Property Detail

Direction

BlendSetbackBuilder.Direction

Returns or sets the direction type

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature Direction

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.BlendSetbackBuilderDirections

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: None.

-------------------------------------

Setter Method

Signature Direction

Parameters:direction (NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.BlendSetbackBuilderDirections) –

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”)

Face

BlendSetbackBuilder.Face

Returns the blend face collector.

The collector can include faces from different blends.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature Face

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.ScCollector

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: None.

HandlePoint

BlendSetbackBuilder.HandlePoint

Returns or sets the handle point for u/v direction.

The setback curve will pass through the handle point.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature HandlePoint

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.Point

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: None.

-------------------------------------

Setter Method

Signature HandlePoint

Parameters:handlePoint (NXOpen.Point) –

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”)

IsDirectionFlipped

BlendSetbackBuilder.IsDirectionFlipped

Returns or sets the flag indicating if the setback curve direction is flipped.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature IsDirectionFlipped

Returns: Return type:bool

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: None.

-------------------------------------

Setter Method

Signature IsDirectionFlipped

Parameters:flipDirection (bool) –

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”)

Plane

BlendSetbackBuilder.Plane

Returns or sets the setback plane.

The setback curve will be the intersection curve between plane and face collector.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature Plane

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.Plane

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: None.

-------------------------------------

Setter Method

Signature Plane

Parameters:plane (NXOpen.Plane) –

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”)

SetbackPoint

BlendSetbackBuilder.SetbackPoint

Returns or sets the setback point for u/v direction.

This point is optional. If specified, it will replace the handle point and establish the associativity between the point and the setback curve. Once the handle point is changed through dragging, the associativity will be lost.
