ISetCurrentSurface Method (IBody2)

Places an existing surface into a temporary body that is under construction.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Sub ISetCurrentSurface( _
   ByVal SurfaceIn As Surface _
) 
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IBody2
Dim SurfaceIn As Surface
 
instance.ISetCurrentSurface(SurfaceIn)
C# 
void ISetCurrentSurface( 
   Surface SurfaceIn
)
C++/CLI 
void ISetCurrentSurface( 
&   Surface^ SurfaceIn
) 

Parameters

SurfaceIn

Pointer to a surface, which might have been created using other surface creation routines, such as IModeler::ICreateCylindricalSurface2

Remarks

This method is used with a set of related methods that construct a body from trimmed surfaces. This method takes an ISurface object created elsewhere and adds it to the temporary body object, which acts as a placeholder for the trimmed surfaces.

Follow calls to this method with one or more calls to the trimming-curve creation methods, such as ISurface::AddTrimmingLoop2. Then, trim the surface using IBody2::CreateTrimmedSurface. After you add all the surfaces to the body and trim appropriately, you can sew the body to create an imported SOLIDWORKS body feature using IBody2::CreateBodyFromSurfaces.
