RFMeshTools.TransformShell

Description

Transforms a specified shell by specified parameters and returns an RFErrorCode value indicating whether an error occurs.

Syntax

Function RFMeshTools.TransformShell(shellID As RFEntityID, pTrans As RFVector3, pRot As RFVector3, pScale As RFVector3, bUseLocalCoord As Boolean) As RFErrorCode

The TransformShell syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
shellID	[IN] RFEntityID Required. Shell's RFEntityID to transform.
pTrans	[IN] RFVector3 Required. Translation values along X, Y and Z axis.
pRot	[IN] RFVector3 Required. Rotation values around X, Y and Z axis.
pScale	[IN] RFVector3 Required. Scale factors along X, Y and Z axis.
bUseLocalCoord	[IN] Boolean Required. It determines whethter transformation is performed w.r.t the shell's own local coordinate system.

Remarks

This method provides only an affine transform of the model. To transform the model more generally, use RFShell.Transform method which takes a 4 X 4 transformation matrix.
With bUseLocalCoord = TRUE option, each pTrans, pRot and pScale parameter represents the transformation with respect to the local coordinate system attached to a specified shell.
When a specified shell has a local coordinate system, coordinates of each vertex belonging to the shell are not actually transformed but the local coordinate system itself is transformed.
NURBS curves, NURBS surfaces and reference geometries connected to a specified shell are also transformed.
