AnalyticalSurfaceBase.SetOuterContour

Method

Description:
Sets the Curve Loop that defines the geometry of the Analytical Surface element.

Remarks:
Curve Loop must be planar and not self-intersecting.

Syntax

public void SetOuterContour(
	CurveLoop outerContour
)

Public Sub SetOuterContour ( 
	outerContour As CurveLoop
)

public:
void SetOuterContour(
	CurveLoop^ outerContour
)

member SetOuterContour : 
        outerContour : CurveLoop -> unit

Examples

   using (Transaction transaction = new Transaction(document, "Edit Analytical Panel outer contour"))
   {
      transaction.Start();

      //create a new curve loop
      CurveLoop profileloop = new CurveLoop();
      profileloop.Append(Line.CreateBound(
