Conical |
A Conical Surface.
Inheritance HierarchyNamespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
SyntaxThe ConicalSurface type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Axis | Axis of the cone. This is the Z axis of the local coordinate system associated with this cone. |
| HalfAngle | Cone angle. |
| IsValidObject |
Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
(Inherited from Surface) |
| OrientationMatchesParametricOrientation |
Indicates whether this Surface's orientation is the same as or opposite to its parametric orientation.
(Inherited from Surface) |
| Origin | Apex of the cone. This is the origin of the local coordinate system associated with this cone. |
| XDir | X axis of the local coordinate system associated with this cone. |
| YDir | X axis of the local coordinate system associated with this cone. |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | Create | Creates a conical surface defined by a local reference frame and a half angle. |
| Dispose | (Inherited from Surface) |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetBoundingBoxUV |
Gets the UV bounding box of the surface.
(Inherited from Surface) |
| GetFrameOfReference | Returns frame of reference associated with this ConicalSurface. |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
| IsValidConeAngle | Checks whether the input value lies is not 0, greater than -PI/2 and lesser than PI/2. |
| Project |
Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point).
Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails.
(Inherited from Surface) |
| ProjectWithGuessPoint |
Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point).
This method is meant to be used when a good approximate solution for the projection is available.
Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails.
(Inherited from Surface) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
Remarks
The parametric equation of the cone is S(u, v) = center + v*[sin(halfAngle)(cos(u)*xVec + sin(u)*yVec) + cos(halfAngle)*zVec]. Only the branch of the cone with v >= 0 should be used.
