Object Model: NurbsSurface.Set

NurbsSurface.Set

Description

Sets a complete data description of the NurbsSurface. This is only available from scripted operators; if you use it on an 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.

C# Syntax

NurbsSurface.Set( Object in_vsaUVControlPoints, Object in_vsaUKnots, Object in_vsaVKnots, Object in_vbUClosed, Object in_vbVClosed, Object in_vlUDegree, Object in_vlVDegree, Object in_veUParam, Object in_veVParam, siNurbsFormat in_eNurbsFormat );

Scripting Syntax

NurbsSurface.Set( ControlPoints, [UKnots], [VKnots], [UClosed], [VClosed], [UDegree], [VDegree], [UParameterization], [VParameterization], [NurbsFormat] );

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
ControlPoints	3D Array	The control points are stored in a 3-dimensional array. The array is 4 * Number V ControlPoints * Number U ControlPoints
UKnots	Array of Doubles	An array of knot values in U direction.
VKnots	Array of Doubles	An array of knot values in V direction.
UClosed	Boolean	Specifies whether the nurbs surface is closed in U direction.
VClosed	Boolean	Specifies whether the nurbs surface is closed in V direction.
UDegree	Long	Degree of the nurbs surface in U direction.
VDegree	Long	Degree of the nurbs surface in V direction.
UParameterization	siKnotParameterization	The parameterization factor of the nurbs surface in U direction.
VParameterization	siKnotParameterization	The parameterization factor of the nurbs surface in V direction.
NurbsFormat	siNurbsFormat	Specifies how the data is formatted. Default Value: siSINurbs
