ConvertToSolid, ConvertToSurface, ConvertToCurve, ConvertToPoint

Unite and convert objects to a solid, surface, curve, or point object.

Syntax

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ConvertToSolid");

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ConvertToSurface");

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ConvertToCurve");

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ConvertToPoint");

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(property);

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);

Description

Use model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,convertOperation) to reduce or extend the topological dimension of objects.

Use model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the objects to convert. The default selection is empty.

The following properties are available:

Table 3-41: Valid Property/Value Pairs

Property	Value	Default	Description
absrepairtol	double	model.geom(<tag>). absRepairTol()	Absolute repair tolerance.
input	Selection		Objects to convert.
keep	on | off	off	Keep input objects.
repairtol	double	model.geom(<tag>). repairTol()	Relative repair tolerance, relative to size of union of inputs.
repairtoltype	auto | relative | absolute	model.geom(<tag>. repairTolType()	Repair tolerance type: automatic, relative, or absolute.
selresult	on | off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off	dom for ConvertToSolid; bnd for ConvertToSurface; bnd (2D) or edg (3D) for ConvertToCurve; and pnt for ConvertToPoint.	Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; in part instances; or in 3D from a plane geometry. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
contributeto	String	none	Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.

The input objects are united, and the resulting object is then converted to the requested type.

For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.

Compatibility

The object type Surface was called Face in version 3.5a.
