NurbsCurveList.Set

Sets a nurbs curve list from a complete data description. This is only available from scripted operators, if you use it on a object with some clusters and you change the topology the burden of updating the clusters is on the user. For non-scripted operators this property can only be set if the object has been frozen.

Note: This method uses output arguments. C# and some scripting languages (such as JScript and PerlScript) don't support arguments passed by reference so you need to use the best workaround for your situation:

For scripting languages this method returns an ISIVTCollection which you can use to get the output arguments.

For C# the only available workaround is to create a VBScript custom command which returns both the output arguments and the return value in one array. For details, see What Happens when the Function Already Returns a Value?.

Scripting Syntax

NurbsCurveList.Set( Count, ControlPoints, [NbControlPoints], [Knots], [NbKnots], [Closed], [Degree], [Parameterization], [NurbsFormat] );

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Count	Long	Number of NurbsCurve in the NurbsCurveList.
ControlPoints	2D Array	The control points are stored in a 2 dimensional array. The array is a 4 x Number of U ControlPoints
NbControlPoints	Array of Long	Specifies the number of ControlPoints per NurbsCurve.
Knots	Array of Doubles	An array of knot values.
NbKnots	Array of Long	Specifies the number of Knots per NurbsCurve.
Closed	Array of Boolean	Specifies whether the nurbs curve is closed . Default Value: False
Degree	Array of Long	Degree of the nurbs curves. Default Value: 3
Parameterization	Array of siKnotParameterization	The parameterization factor of the nurbs curve.
NurbsFormat	siNurbsFormat	Specifies how the data is formatted. Default Value: siSINurbs
