PlaneCollection Class

class NXOpen.PlaneCollection

Bases: object

Represents a collection of NXOpen.Plane.

Iterating this collection only returns live uncondemned objects contained in the owning part of the collection. Note that NXOpen.Plane is a smart object and many smart objects are condemned as they only exist to support other objects and are not displayed. To obtain an instance of this class, refer to NXOpen.BasePart

New in version NX4.0.0.

Methods

Method	Description
CreateFixedPlane	Creates a Plane without parameters.
CreateFixedTypePlane	Creates a Plane, it is still a smart plane but has fixed plane type.
CreatePlane	Creates a Plane without parameters.
