ICreateFeatureFromBody4 Method (IPartDoc)

Creates a new imported feature from the specified temporary body.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function ICreateFeatureFromBody4( _
   ByVal Body As Body2, _
   ByVal MakeRefSurface As System.Boolean, _
   ByVal Options As System.Integer _
) As Feature
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IPartDoc
Dim Body As Body2
Dim MakeRefSurface As System.Boolean
Dim Options As System.Integer
Dim value As Feature
 
value = instance.ICreateFeatureFromBody4(Body, MakeRefSurface, Options)
C# 
Feature ICreateFeatureFromBody4( 
   Body2 Body,
   System.bool MakeRefSurface,
   System.int Options
)
C++/CLI 
Feature^ ICreateFeatureFromBody4( 
&   Body2^ Body,
&   System.bool MakeRefSurface,
&   System.int Options
) 

Parameters

Body
Temporary body
MakeRefSurface

If the body cannot be knit to a solid or if a solid body already exists in this model, then True creates of a reference surface feature

Options

Option as defined by swCreateFeatureBodyOpts_e

Return Value

Newly created imported feature or NULL if the operation fails

Remarks

This method:

  • Is intended as the final call in a knitting operation. The body that results from your knitting efforts can be converted into an imported body feature in the SolidWorks model.

  • Is not limited to IBody2 objects obtained from knitting operations.

  • Allows the application to decide how much additional work must be done to the model before creating the feature. The options listed in the swCreateFeatureBodyOpts_e enumeration can be OR'd together to provide additional checking or simplification of the model. If you specify swCreateFeatureBodySimplify for Options, then swCreateFeatureBodyCheck is implied.

If the application passes 0 for the options argument, then the options are disabled and the model is passed without any checking. It is up to the application to ensure that the model is a valid model.

If this method fails, the error might be caused by creating a sheet (surface) body from a multiple shells body. If so, replace this method with IPartDoc::CreateSurfaceFeatureFromBody and IPartDoc::ICreateSurfaceFeatureFromBodyCount2.
