Module elements 

Source
Expand description

The kinds of element a step refers to in the part’s model (model): a Vertex, an Edge, a Face, a Solid — each an ElementReference into the model by its stable name — an EdgeChain, the tangent chain of edges through an edge, and the model itself, read whole. Each says how a dialog picks it (SelectableElement): a vertex, an edge or a face as itself, a solid by a face of it, an edge chain by an edge of it.

Structs§

ChainElement
An edge chain of the model: the model, and the chain.
Edge
An edge of the model, of a solid, a sheet or a wire.
EdgeChain
The tangent chain of edges through an edge of the model (see tangent_chain): named by any edge of it, and selected by the smallest name of its edges, the one name a dialog holds it by however it was picked.
Face
A face of the model.
ModelElement
An element of the model: the model, and the entity’s id in it.
Solid
A solid of the model, as a whole.
Vertex
A vertex of the model.

Functions§

read_model
The model as reader reads it: empty, before the first step that builds any topology.
