RFMeshTools.GetPricipalAxisTransformOfShell

Description

Calculates the principal transformation of a specified shell and returns an RFErrorCode value indicating whether an error occurs.

Syntax

Function RFMeshTools.GetPricipalAxisTransformOfShell(shellID As RFEntityID, pTrans As RFVector3, pRot As RFVector3) As RFErrorCode

The GetPricipalAxisTransformOfShell syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
shellID	[IN] RFEntityID Required. Shell's RFEntityID.
pTrans	[OUT] RFVector3 Required. Principal translation along X, Y ans Z axis.
pRot	[OUT] RFVector3 Required. Principal rotation around X, Y ans Z axis in radians.

Remarks

Principal rotation values around X, Y and Z axis of the global coordinate system minimizes the height of a specified shell. The height is the difference value between the maximum and the minimum Z coordinates of a shell.
Principal translation values along X, Y and Z axis of the global coordinate system centers a specified shell at the origin of the global coordinate system.
Connected NURBS curves, NURBS surfaces, reference geometries are not considered for the principal transformation calculation.
