Parameters

NCrvs

Number of surface parametric (UV) curves constituting the loop; it is also directly related to the dimension of each of the arrays vOrder, vDim, vPeriodic, vNumKnots, vNumControlPnts, which must be loaded with the information regarding each of the curves; specifically the dimension of those arrays is ArraySize = NCrvs

VOrder

Array of <ArraySize> doubles (see NCrvs argument)

VDim

Array of <ArraySize> doubles (see NCrvs argument)

VPeriodic

Array of <ArraySize> doubles (see NCrvs argument)

VNumKnots

Array of <ArraySize> doubles (see NCrvs argument)

VNumCtrlPoints

Array of <ArraySize> doubles (see NCrvs argument)

VKnots

Array of <TotalNumKnots> doubles, where TotalNumKnots = numKnotsInCurve[i] from i = 1 to NCrvs

VCtrlPointDbls

Array of <TotalNumCPCoords> doubles, where TotalNumCPCoords = ( dimensionOfCPinCurve[i] * numControlPntsInCurve[i] ) from i = 1 to NCrvs

UvRange

Four doubles defining U Low U High V Low V High

Return Value

The list is created by a previous call to one of the base surface creation functions (for example, IBody2::CreateRevolutionSurface or IBody2::ICreateRevolutionSurface).

The information on each UV-curve is in b-spline form (knots and control point coordinates) all of which are compacted into the two arrays Knots and CtrlPointDbls.

For non-rational curves the dimension value in Dim is 2. For rational curves the dimension value in Dim is 3. The minimum order value in Order is 2. An order 2 curve must consist of only one segment.

For each curve the number of control points in NumCtrlPoints >= its order.

For non-periodic curves there must be (NumCtrlPoints + Order) knot values, the maximum multiplicity of an internal knot value is (Order 96 1), and the maximum multiplicity of an end knot value is Order.

For periodic curves there must be (NumCtrlPoints + 1) knot values and the maximum multiplicity of any knot value is (Order 96 1). If the periodic knot has multiplicity greater than 1, repetitions must be given at the end of the knot vector.

This method expects 2D-polyomial (x,y) or 2D-rational (x,y,w) curves to be passed as trimming curves. However, you can set a flag so that this method accepts 3D-polyomial (x,y,z) or 3D-rational (x,y,z,w) trim curves. To do this, set the first value in the Dim array to negative its absolute value (for example, if the value is 3, set it to -3). When you do this, 3D trim curves will be expected.

Upon adding this trimming loop, you can generate a trimmed surface by calling IBody2::CreateTrimmedSurface.

NOTE: If you do not want to specify a UV Range in the last parameter, pass in a NULL value.
