IGetSilhoutteEdges Method (IFace2)

Gets the silhouette edges for this face with the specified root point and in the specified direction.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function IGetSilhoutteEdges( _
   ByRef Root As System.Double, _
   ByRef Normal As System.Double _
) As Edge
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IFace2
Dim Root As System.Double
Dim Normal As System.Double
Dim value As Edge
 
value = instance.IGetSilhoutteEdges(Root, Normal)
C# 
Edge IGetSilhoutteEdges( 
   ref System.double Root,
   ref System.double Normal
)
C++/CLI 
Edge^ IGetSilhoutteEdges( 
&   System.double% Root,
&   System.double% Normal
) 

Parameters

Root

Array of doubles defining the root point

Normal

Array of doubles defining the direction vector

Return Value

  • in-process, unmanaged C++: Pointer to an array to hold the edge pointers 
  • VBA, VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI: Not supported

    See In-process Methods for details about this type of method.

  • Remarks

    These edges are not added to the face and cannot be found using IFace2::IGetEdges. They are created and handed back to the caller as an array of edges packed with edges.

    The vector root point (root) and a vector direction (normal) define the orientation for the silhouette edge creation.

    The return array has two elements for each edge: the first is the silhouette edge and the second is  not used. To iterate through the edges, an application needs to step through every second element.

    Before calling this method, call IFace2::IGetSilhoutteEdgeCount to get the size of array required to hold the edges.

    The returned edges are transient and cannot be selected.
