Parameters

Nsided

True to use the new Freeform algorithm, false to use the old one

NOTE: Must be true for faces with three sides or more than four sides, or to enable rotation of UV lines

Symmetric0

True if symmetry is on in Direction 0, false if not

Symmetric1

True if symmetry is on in Direction 1, false if not

Angle

Value by which to rotate the U,V lines (in radians)

Return Value

The SOLIDWORKS API Freeform-related methods are intended to journal the actions performed by an interactive user while creating the feature. Because user interaction is required to create a Freeform feature, fully automating the creation of it is not possible using the SOLIDWORKS API.

The typical steps performed by an interactive user to create a Freeform feature are:

1. Select the face to form. 

2. Add curves on the selected face. Corresponds to IFeatureManager::SetFreeformCurveData.

3. Add points on the curves. Corresponds to IFeatureManager::SetFreeformPointData.

4. Specify boundary continuity. Corresponds to IFeatureManager::SetFreeformBoundaryContinuity.
   
   Interactively pull or push the points to change the shape of the selected face.
    

5. Insert the Freeform feature. Corresponds to this method, IFeatureManager::InsertFreeform2.

Record a macro while interactively creating a Freeform feature, then examine the macro to see the order in which the Freeform-related methods are recorded.
