revolve up to (flat) surface

revolve up to (flat) surface

I have a closed profile and an axis leaning against a plane

I can revolutionize this closed profile up to a plane (which clearly intersects) and have qCapEntity

I wanted to avoid doing a full revolution, cut it and then select the resulting section.

Thanks

If you know the x vector along your sketch plane (vector1) and the x vector along the flat surface (vector2), you should be able to set the angle between the two as your total revolution angle:

        angle = angleBetween(vector1, vector2);
        opRevolve(context, id + "revolve2", {
                    "entities" : Sketch,
                    "axis" : revAxis,
                    "angleForward" : angle
                });

Thanks a lot #Kira_Lee

however I changed my approach and made an opBoolean fact

            opRevolve(context, id + "revolve1", {
                        "entities" : widget.faccia,
                        "axis" : line(vector(0, 0, 0) * mm, vector(0, 0, -1)),
                        "angleForward" : 170 * degree
                    });
            opExtrude(context, id + "extrude1", {
                        "entities" : widget.entities,
                        "direction" : evOwnerSketchPlane(context, { "entity" : widget.entities }).normal,
                        "endBound" : BoundingType.BLIND, "endDepth" : 50 * mm
                    });

            var tools = qUnion([qCreatedBy(id + "extrude1", EntityType.BODY), qCreatedBy(id + "revolve1", EntityType.BODY)]);

            opBoolean(context, id + "boolean1", {
                        "tools" : tools,
                        "operationType" : BooleanOperationType.INTERSECTION,
                        "allowSheets" : true
                    });
            debug(context, qCreatedBy(id + "boolean1"), DebugColor.RED);

I'll test your example anyway

Thanks again
