Detailed Description

Describes functions to find the plane in which the edges of a given shape are located. A FindPlane object provides a framework for:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane ( )

Initializes an empty algorithm. The function Init is then used to define the shape.

BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane ( const TopoDS_Shape S,
const Standard_Real  Tol = -1 
)

Constructs the plane containing the edges of the shape S. A plane is built only if all the edges are within a distance of less than or equal to tolerance from a planar surface. This tolerance value is equal to the larger of the following two values:

  • Tol, where the default value is negative, or
  • the largest of the tolerance values assigned to the individual edges of S. Use the function Found to verify that a plane is built. The resulting plane is then retrieved using the function Plane.

Member Function Documentation

Standard_Boolean BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::Found ( ) const

Returns true if a plane containing the edges of the shape is found and built. Use the function Plane to consult the result.

void BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::Init ( const TopoDS_Shape S,
const Standard_Real  Tol = -1 
)

Constructs the plane containing the edges of the shape S. A plane is built only if all the edges are within a distance of less than or equal to tolerance from a planar surface. This tolerance value is equal to the larger of the following two values:

  • Tol, where the default value is negative, or
  • the largest of the tolerance values assigned to the individual edges of S. Use the function Found to verify that a plane is built. The resulting plane is then retrieved using the function Plane.
Handle< Geom_Plane > BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::Plane ( ) const

Returns the plane containing the edges of the shape. Warning Use the function Found to verify that the plane is built. If a plane is not found, Plane returns a null handle.
