Parameters

Propagate
True propagates the swept cut to the next edge, false causes the swept cut to occur only on the selected edge; to propagate to the next edge, the next edge must be tangent to the current edge
Alignment
If the curve used to sweep goes from one face to another or from one edge to another, then passing True causes the sweep to cut completely through the end faces of the cut, false causes the swept cut to begin and end perpendicular to the sweep curve; therefore, it may not break through the two end faces of the body being cut
TwistCtrlOption
Twist control options as defined by swTwistControlType_e
KeepTangency
If the sweep section has tangent segments, True to cause the corresponding surfaces in the resulting sweep to be tangent, false to not
BAdvancedSmoothing
If the sweep section has circular or elliptical arcs, True to approximate the sections and smooth the surfaces, false to not
StartMatchingType
Tangency type as defined by swTangencyType_e
EndMatchingType
Tangency type as defined by swTangencyType_e
IsThinBody
True if this feature is a thin body, false if not
Thickness1
Thickness value for the first direction
Thickness2
Thickness value for the second direction
ThinType
Thin wall type as defined byswThinWallType_e
PathAlign
Align path type (see Remarks)
UseFeatScope
True if the feature only affects selected bodies, false if the feature affects all bodies
UseAutoSelect
True to automatically select all bodies and have the feature affect those bodies, false to select the bodies the feature affects (see Remarks)
TwistAngle
If twistCtrlOption set to swTwistControlConstantTwistAlongPath, then specify end twist angle
BMergeSmoothFaces

True to merge smooth faces, false to not

Return Value

Pointer to the IFeature object

Remarks

Use IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 to select the profile and sweep curves. The mark for:

  • 1 = Profile selection

  • 2 = Guide-curve selection, if provided

  • 4 = Sweep path

The \PpathAlign argument is available when TwistCtrlOption is set to 0 and can take one of these values:

  • 0 = None; no correction (default)

  • 2 = Direction vector; a plane, planar face, or line defines the path

  • 3 = All faces; includes neighboring faces

When UseAutoSelect is false, the user must select the bodies that the feature will affect.

When using cut or cavity features that result in multiple bodies, you cannot select to keep all of the resulting bodies or one or more selected bodies.
