"Retrieve" trailing edge resulting from EDGE extrusion

Member Posts: 27 PRO
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
precondition
{
annotation { "Name" : "Curve", "Filter" : EntityType.EDGE || EntityType.BODY && BodyType.WIRE }
definition.Skizzo is Query;
annotation { "Name" : "Face", "Filter" : EntityType.FACE,"bodyType" : ToolBodyType.SURFACE }
definition.Faccia is Query;
}
{
opExtrude(context, id + "extrude1", {
"entities" : definition.Skizzo ,
"direction": evOwnerSketchPlane(context, {"entity" : definition.Skizzo}).normal,
"endBound" : BoundingType.UP_TO_SURFACE,
"endBoundEntity" : definition.Faccia
});
var piano = newSketch(context, id + "sketch", {
"sketchPlane" : qCreatedBy(id + "extrude1", EntityType.FACE)
});
//???????????????????????????????
var endPoint is Query = qCreatedBy(id + "extrude1");
var startPosition is Vector = evVertexPoint(context, {"vertex" : qNthElement(endPoint, 1) });
debug(context,endPoint);
debug(context, startPosition);
//???????????????????????????????

then I don't understand why the CapType seems correct when I set it to START while it should be END
Thanks

Thanks

You can use that created surface for any downstream operation, and delete it afterwards if you wish.
Would that work?
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
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> skLineSegment(sketch2, "line0", {</div><div> "start" : vector(0 * millimeter, -definition.hdia + 1 * millimeter),</div><div> "end" : vector(lunghezza + 0 * millimeter, -definition.hdia + 1 * millimeter)</div><div> });</div><div> skSolve(sketch2);</div><div><br></div><div> var opplacca = opExtrude(context, id + "extrude1", {</div><div> "entities" : qCreatedBy(id + "sketch2", EntityType.EDGE),</div><div> "direction" : yAxis(sketchPlane), //<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<important</div><div> "endBound" : BoundingType.UP_TO_SURFACE,</div><div> "endBoundEntity" : definition.Faccia</div><div> });</div><div> var Contorno2 is Query = qCreatedBy(id + "extrude3", EntityType.FACE);</div><div> opExtrude(context, id + "extrude4", {</div><div> "entities" : Contorno2,</div><div> "direction" : zzDirection,</div><div> "endBound" : BoundingType.BLIND,</div><div> "endDepth" : x * millimeter</div><div> }); </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> "sketchPlane" : sketchPlane</div><div> }); </div>and tangent to:<div> var CapEntiCurva is Query = qGeometry(CapEnti1, GeometryType.OTHER_CURVE); //spline elliptical result</div><div> 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
and sorry for my writing! google translator is live
