Hi,
I stumble on one strange thing in CREO. I don't know if this info is correct or I am missing something. I created single cube in CREO and Visual Basic application to extract data about the cube surfaces. One information was, in my opinion wrong, that is the number of outward and inward oriented surfaces. In VB help is stated the following:
- EpfcSURFACEORIENT_OUTWARD Surface oriented outward away from the solid model. du X dv points outward.
EpfcSURFACEORIENT_INWARD Surface oriented inward toward the solid model. du X dv points inward.
I collected all the surfaces and I got their orientations (code snipet):
Dim aSurf As IpfcSurface
aSurf = CType(aFeat, IpfcSurface)
Dim surfDescr As IpfcSurfaceDescriptor
surfDescr = aSurf.GetSurfaceDescriptor
Dim surfOrient As EpfcSurfaceOrientation
surfOrient = surfDescr.Orientation
I was expecting 6 OUTWARD surfaces and 0 INWARD, but what I got was 5 OUTWARD and 1 INWARD. Does anybody knows why is this happening and is this correct.
Thanks!
