IGetBSurfParamsSize3 Method (ISurface)

Gets the allocation size necessary for Bsurface parameter data retrieval in a subsequent call to ISurface::IGetBSurfParams.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function IGetBSurfParamsSize3( _
   ByVal WantCubic As System.Boolean, _
   ByVal WantNonRational As System.Boolean, _
   ByRef Range As System.Double, _
   ByVal Tolerance As System.Double, _
   ByRef Sense As System.Boolean _
) As System.Integer
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ISurface
Dim WantCubic As System.Boolean
Dim WantNonRational As System.Boolean
Dim Range As System.Double
Dim Tolerance As System.Double
Dim Sense As System.Boolean
Dim value As System.Integer
 
value = instance.IGetBSurfParamsSize3(WantCubic, WantNonRational, Range, Tolerance, Sense)
C# 
System.int IGetBSurfParamsSize3( 
   System.bool WantCubic,
   System.bool WantNonRational,
   ref System.double Range,
   System.double Tolerance,
   out System.bool Sense
)
C++/CLI 
System.int IGetBSurfParamsSize3( 
&   System.bool WantCubic,
&   System.bool WantNonRational,
&   System.double% Range,
&   System.double Tolerance,
&   [Out] System.bool Sense
) 

Parameters

WantCubic

True for surface to be a cubic, false for not

WantNonRational

True if non-rational is needed, false if not; specifying true converts any surface type to a non-rational Bsurface; if you specify true, then you should only use this method for surfaces that are Bsurface or blend surface; otherwise, the underlying call is not made and the values returned from this are not initialized or contain the values from the last call

Range
Array of 4 doubles describing the U,V Range
Tolerance

Tolerance, in meters, between the approximated b-spline surface and the underlying surface; the default value is 0.01 and should generally be reduced to the tolerance desired

Sense

Approximated b-spline surface is not always in the same direction as the original surface; if sense is true, then the underlying surface and the b-spline surface are in the same direction

Return Value

Size of the data set

Remarks

Range contains the following values that can be obtained using ISurface::Parameterization or ISurface::IParameterization:

  • Range[0] & Range[2] are the lower bounds of the U & V surface parameters respectively.

  • Range[1] & Range[3] are the upper bounds of the U & V surface parameters respectively.
