PRO_E_CRV_IP_REF1 element for curve type feature creation using toolkit

Hi

 

I am trying to create intersect feature using toolkit. This feature is created manually using datum plane and surfaces of extrude feature.

 

What I need to do for toolkit is to create feature of type PRO_FEAT_CURVE using in header file PRODTMCRV. Type should be Feature - Intersect Curve defined as PRO_CURVE_TYPE_INTSRF. While adding surfaces, I thought to have PRO_CURVE_TYPE_INTSRF as multiple selections of surfaces.

 

In case of single surface, I could have used API ProElementReferenceSet(), but what need to be done in case of multiple surfaces to be passed as value to this element.

 

I have used below code to set multiple surfaces into element called "PRO_E_CRV_IP_REF1 " , but it is not working properly.

 

ProElement objElementSrfCollection;

status = ProElementAlloc(PRO_E_STD_SURF_COLLECTION_APPL, &objElementSrfCollection);

ProCollection objSrfCollection;

 

status = ProSrfcollectionAlloc(&objSrfCollection);

ProSrfcollinstr objSurfCollectInstruction;

status = ProSrfcollinstrAlloc(PRO_SURFCOLL_SINGLE_SURF, PRO_B_TRUE, &objSurfCollectInstruction);

status = ProSrfcollinstrIncludeSet(objSurfCollectInstruction, PRO_B_TRUE);

for (int i = 0; i < vectReferenceOfSurfaces.size(); ++i)

 

{

ProSrfcollref objSurfCollectRef;

status = ProSrfcollrefAlloc(PRO_SURFCOLL_REF_SINGLE, vectReferenceOfSurfaces[i], &objSurfCollectRef);

 

status = ProSrfcollinstrReferenceAdd(objSurfCollectInstruction, objSurfCollectRef);

 

}

status = ProSrfcollectionInstructionAdd(objSrfCollection, objSurfCollectInstruction);

status = ProElementCollectionSet(objElementSrfCollection, objSrfCollection);

 

ProElement objElementIPRef1;

status = ProElementAlloc(PRO_E_CRV_IP_REF1, &objElementIPRef1);

status = ProElemtreeElementAdd(objElement_IPCompRef1, NULL, objElementIPRef1);

status = ProElemtreeElementAdd(objElementIPRef1, NULL, objElementSrfCollection);

 

 

Note: vectReferenceOfSurfaces is vector of ProReference for all required surfaces.

Any thought would be of great help.

 

Regards

Ketan

You wrote: PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION (value_data.v.r = Reference) this seems old style of API to update element values.

 

Yes, but even if you use the new API, the result is the same.

There is also a call to ProElementReferencesSet() !!! (This is Plural not singular ) Smiley Wink

 

Now it depends on IsMultival what you can use, if yes you can use ProElementReferencesSet() if number > 0 else you should use ProElementReferenceSet()

Based on your modeling posts regarding the creation of intersection curves I am responding here. I am not a Toolkit expert.

If this Toolkit code is in the context of intersecting all solid surfaces of a model with a plane then I would suggest  looking for the function call that will select solid surfaces as an input to the intersection call. If there is not a call to select all solid surfaces then you may have to create a copy of solid surfs as I have shown in your other modeling thread.

Hi

I am considering all surfaces of solid (I extrude) and datum plane... Hope this would not ask me to do copy paste... Manually also I have selected all surfaces with datum.

If Toolkit has the function to select solid surfs it should simplify the code for selection. See the pic below which shows how to select the solid geom which includes all surfaces of the geom pick in the graphics window.
