Description

namespace VectorWorks

Member of VCOM:VectorWorks:ISDK

returns the surface handle if it succeeds, returns NULL if it fails

virtual MCObjectHandle CreateExtrudeAlongPath(
                        MCObjectHandle   pathHandle,
                        MCObjectHandle   profileHandle)

Parameters

MCObjectHandle		pathHandle		No information available.
MCObjectHandle		profileHandle		No information available.

Return Value

On error returns: nil

Remarks

The path should be a NURBS curve.

On succes, a list of NURB surface objects is created, they need to be manually added to the container you want.

Example

This example is taken from the mailing list and is created by Vlado.

	VWPolygon2DObj path;

	path.AddVertex( 0, 0 );
	path.AddVertex( 100, 0 );
	path.AddVertex( 100, 50 );
	path.AddVertex( 200, 50 );
	path.SetClosed( false );

	VWPolygon2DObj profile;
	profile.AddVertex( 0, 0 );
	profile.AddVertex( 10, 0 );
	profile.AddVertex( 10, 10 );
	profile.AddVertex( 0, 10 );
	profile.SetClosed( true );


	MCObjectHandle hPathNurb = gSDK->ConvertToNURBS( path );
	MCObjectHandle hExtrudeAlongPath  = gSDK->CreateExtrudeAlongPath( hPathNurb, profile );

	MCObjectHandle hCurrent = hExtrudeAlongPath;

	while ( hCurrent )
	{
		MCObjectHandle hNext  = gSDK->NextObject( hCurrent );
		gSDK->AddObjectToContainer( hCurrent, gSDK->GetCurrentLayer() );
		hCurrent = hNext;
	}
