Axis Through Cylinder

d.axisThroughCylinder(inputs?, options?): FeatureHandle<'axisThroughCylinder'>

One feature of the timeline, in the construct category. Its name follows the app's (Axis Through Cylinder1, then Axis Through Cylinder2, …); options.name gives it another, options.id its ID and options.index its place in the timeline. Inputs the table calls optional keep the default it names, so a call with none of them still makes a valid feature.

Inputs

Input Type Required or default What it does
face GeomRef | GeomRef[] (face) optional The round face (a cylinder, cone or torus) whose own axis is taken.

Faces

This feature makes no face of its own, so handle.face(role) has no role to take. Its result keeps the names of the bodies it worked on, so a reference to one of those still resolves.

Example

import { Design, type LineHandle } from '@extrudo/api';

const d = Design.create({ name: 'My part' });

// Two solids to point faces, edges and bodies at.
const plate = d.box({ length: '40 mm', width: '20 mm', height: '10 mm' });
const shaft = d.cylinder({ diameter: '20 mm', height: '20 mm' });

// A sketch with two closed profiles, a hole and a guide line beside them.
let guide!: LineHandle;
const s = d.sketch(d.origin.xy, (k) => {
  k.rectangle([0, 0], [40, 20]);
  k.circle([10, 10], '3 mm');
  k.rectangle([50, 0], [60, 10]);
  guide = k.line([-5, 30], [45, 30]);
});

const profile = s.profileAt([1, 1]);
const sections = s.profiles();
const line = guide.ref();
const face = plate.face('side:front');
const edge = plate.edge([plate.faceName('side:front'), plate.faceName('side:right')]);
const vertex = plate.vertex([plate.faceName('side:front'), plate.faceName('side:right')]);
const corner = plate.vertex([plate.faceName('side:front'), plate.faceName('side:left')]);
const body = plate.body();
const step = 'att-part.step'; // an attachment of the design
const plan = 'att-plan.png';

// Axis Through Cylinder.
d.axisThroughCylinder({ face: shaft.face('side:wall') });
