Description

This function converts the input object into a new NURBS object or a group of NURBS objects in the document.

FUNCTION ConvertToNURBS(
             h          :HANDLE;
             keepOrig   :BOOLEAN) : HANDLE;

def vs.ConvertToNURBS(h, keepOrig):
    return HANDLE

Parameters

h		HANDLE		Handle of original object.
keepOrig		BOOLEAN		Leave the original object in the drawing.

Remarks

(Orso, 2010 Dec. 24) The orientation of the generated NURBS object is -like for extrudes- based on the active view. Set the plane of your profile object with VS:SetPlanarRefIDToGround if you need it planar.

Example

VectorScript

PROCEDURE Example;
VAR
h :HANDLE;
BEGIN
h := FSActLayer;
h := ConvertToNURBS(h, FALSE);
h := CreateOffsetNurbsObjectHandle(h, 1);
END;
RUN(Example);

Python

def Example():
	h = vs.FSActLayer()
	h = vs.ConvertToNURBS(h, False)
	h = vs.CreateOffsetNurbsObjectHandle(h, 1)
