Geometry2D.AverageLocalReferenceFrame

Description

Get the average normal of given 2D geometry

Scripting Syntax

Geometry2D.AverageLocalReferenceFrame( compIdxArray, XAxis, XAxisValid, YAxis, YAxisValid, ZAxis, ZAxisValid );

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
compIdxArray Array of Integer values An array of indices of 2D Component

Possible Values:

Description:

0 <= compIdxArray(i) < Number of 2D Component Each index in the array must be valid
XAxis SIVector3 Upon return, contains the X axis of the average local reference frame of the given 2D geometry
XAxisValid Boolean Upon return, contains TRUE if the X axis of the reference frame is valid, else FALSE
YAxis SIVector3 Upon return, contains the Y axis of the average local reference frame of the given 2D geometry
YAxisValid Boolean Upon return, contains TRUE if the Y axis of the reference frame is valid, else FALSE
ZAxis SIVector3 Upon return, contains the Z axis of the average local reference frame of the given 2D geometry
ZAxisValid Boolean Upon return, contains TRUE if the Z axis of the reference frame is valid, else FALSE
