create_extrusion_guide

SolidModel.create_extrusion_guide(name, edge_set=None, id='', cad_geometry=None, direction=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), radius=None, depth=1.0, use_curvature_correction=False, active=True)​

Create a new extrusion guide.

  • Parameters:
    • name: The name of the extrusion guide.
    • edge_set: An edge set where this guide applies.
    • id: The ID of the extrusion guide.
    • cad_geometry: a CAD geometry object.
    • direction: Extrusion direction.
    • radius: Distance up to which node translations due to the guide will be propagated through the mesh.
      • 0.0: Only the nodes extruded from edge_set will be shifted onto the guide.
    • depth: Intensity for the propagation of mesh corrections.
      • 1.0 : Linear decay from guide to radius.
      • >1.0: Higher reach.
      • <1.0: More local.
    • use_curvature_correction: Whether to use curvature correction algorithm to smooth mesh adapted to extrusion guide. Default is ‘False’.
