ConicalSurface

Class
Description:
A Conical Surface.
Remarks:
The parametric equation of the cone is S(u, v) = center + v*[sin(halfAngle)(cos(u)*xVec + sin(u)*yVec) + cos(halfAngle)*zVec]. Only the branch of the cone with v >= 0 should be used.

ConicalSurface Class Members:
Name Description Inherited From
Axis Axis of the cone. This is the Z axis of the local coordinate system associated with this cone.
HalfAngle Cone angle.
IsValidObject Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity. (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
OrientationMatchesParametricOrientation Indicates whether this Surface's orientation is the same as or opposite to its parametric orientation. (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
Origin Apex of the cone. This is the origin of the local coordinate system associated with this cone.
XDir X axis of the local coordinate system associated with this cone.
YDir X axis of the local coordinate system associated with this cone.
Name Description Inherited From
Create Creates a conical surface defined by a local reference frame and a half angle.
Dispose (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
Equals Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object ) Object
GetBoundingBoxUV Gets the UV bounding box of the surface. (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
GetFrameOfReference Returns frame of reference associated with this ConicalSurface.
GetHashCode Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object ) Object
GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object ) Object
IsValidConeAngle Checks whether the input value lies is not 0, greater than -PI/2 and lesser than PI/2.
Project Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails. (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
ProjectWithGuessPoint Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). This method is meant to be used when a good approximate solution for the projection is available. Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails. (Inherited from Surface ) Surface
ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object ) Object
