FS cPlane angled plane

graham_lock

Hi,

I'm trying to create an angled plane using the code below:

var sketch = newSketchOnPlane(context, id + "angledPlaneSketch", {

                    "sketchPlane" : refPlane

            });

            

            // draw line for angled plane

            var lineMap = skLineSegment(sketch, "angledPlaneLine", {

                    "start" : vector(0, 0) * millimeter,

                    "end" : vector(50, 0) * millimeter

            });

            

            skSolve(sketch);

            

            // now create angled plane            

            cPlane(context, id, {

                "entities" : qCreatedBy("angledPlaneLine"),

                "cplaneType": CPlaneType.LINE_ANGLE,

                "angle": definition.angle,

                "oppositeDirection" : definition.angleDirection

                }

            );

I'm not sure if this is the way to go about it?

If it is the correct way how do I pass the sketch line to cPlane? qCreatedBy currently fails.

Thank you.

You are probably better off using opPlane. Ultimately, cPlane is calling opPlane, it just has some extras for the user.
All you would need to do is calculate the normal direction of your plane (and the origin), which will be a lot less work.

qCreatedBy is failing because the Id is that of a sketch entity, but that query type takes in the feature id ("angledPlaneSketch"). To use that sketch line, you need to do something like qCreatedBy(id + "angledPlaneSketch", EntityType.EDGE); As its the only line in the sketch, quering for all edges made by the sketch should produce only that edge.
Or you can do sketchEntityQuery(id + "angledPlaneSketch", EntityType.EDGE, "angledPlaneLine"); if you were to have multiple sketch lines.
