"Retrieve" trailing edge resulting from EDGE extrusion

mko_sc

I apologize in advance for any nonsense or simplicity.

how do i retrieve the terminal wire of an edge extrusion?

I need to retrieve the 2 end points to draw other things.

Thanks

Take a look at qCapEntity, then filter by edge

mko_sc

thanks, but banality is also difficult for me, and I need an extra help.
then I don't understand why the CapType seems correct when I set it to START while it should be END
Thanks

Good evening, saw Neils advice I was able to find the 2 points of the resulting spline and draw something on it, now can someone tell me how I can bring the spline to "sketch1"?
do I have to "redesign" it with skEllipticalArc or how?
Thanks

I haven't understood the purpose of the feature yet, but if your immediate goal is to just get the region inside the sketch, I'd suggest you use opFillSurface instead of a sketch to create that region. This way, you can give opFillSurface any combination of sketch curves and other edges, without needing to replicate that edge onto the sketch, or to rely on it being elliptical.

Something like opFillSurface(... qUnion(qCreatedBy(id + "sketch1", EntityType.EDGE), BordoVoluto) ...)

You can use that created surface for any downstream operation, and delete it afterwards if you wish.

Would that work?

Well, you can see what I have to do from the drawing here attached.I’m build a plate lined to the “spline” elliptical I obtain before
i’m a building a plate , I need,now, to find the parallel line from “startPosition” to “endPosition” and tangent to the elliptical line
thanks

sorry kevin
but failing to get the "opFillSurface" command to work all night. and I was ashamed to ask ...;)
i slept all night and i just did: 

<div>       
var sketch2 = newSketchOnPlane(context, id + "sketch2", {
                "sketchPlane" : sketchPlane
 });

<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; skLineSegment(sketch2, "line0", {</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "start" : vector(0 * millimeter, -definition.hdia + 1 * millimeter),</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "end" : vector(lunghezza + 0 * millimeter, -definition.hdia + 1 * millimeter)</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; });</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; skSolve(sketch2);</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; var opplacca = opExtrude(context, id + "extrude1", {</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "entities" : qCreatedBy(id + "sketch2", EntityType.EDGE),</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "direction" : yAxis(sketchPlane),                    //<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<important</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "endBound" : BoundingType.UP_TO_SURFACE,</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "endBoundEntity" : definition.Faccia</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; });</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; var Contorno2 is Query = qCreatedBy(id + "extrude3", EntityType.FACE);</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; opExtrude(context, id + "extrude4", {</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "entities" : Contorno2,</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "direction" : zzDirection,</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "endBound" : BoundingType.BLIND,</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "endDepth" : x * millimeter</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; });
</div></div>

I practically draw a line on 2 points now known and re-extruded this line on the same surface and I solved the problem!
the desired distance is missing (2mm) .. but for this I try something like "maximum distance" from the edge.
(if you have some help for the tangent it is appreciated)
parallel to:<div>var sketch2 = newSketchOnPlane(context, id + "sketch2", {</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "sketchPlane" : sketchPlane</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }); </div>and tangent to:
<div> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; var CapEntiCurva is Query = qGeometry(CapEnti1, GeometryType.OTHER_CURVE); //spline elliptical result</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; var ellisse is map = evCurveDefinition(context, { "edge" : CapEntiCurva }); //map of the result <br></div>
now! ,I can't understand how "opFillSurface" works, is there an example something I can study?
thanks
