Select and translate chain


Recommended Posts

I want to select a chain, make offset of it, change the color to result and translate in Z, ut with the following code what istranslated is the original chain and not the offset one.

Can you help me please

Why the translated is the original chain?

Can I change the settings of the selecction to always select a clockwise chain?

How can I know the nurber assigned to colors?

Thanks

 

 

///code used for the C# C-Hook

  //Select a chain
  var CadOriginal = ChainManager.GetOneChain("Select a Closed Chain.\n\n");

  //only continue if it is a closed chain
  do 
      if (CadOriginal.IsClosed == false)
      {
          //If not closed, show message and reselect
          MessageBox.Show("The chain is not Closed", "ERROR", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
          CadOriginal = ChainManager.GetOneChain("Select a Closed Chain.\n\n");
      }
  while (CadOriginal.IsClosed == false);

  //offset chain
  var CadTemp1 = CadOriginal.OffsetChain2D(OffsetSideType.Left, 0.2, OffsetRollCornerType.None, 0, false, 0.005, true);
  //convert to geometries the chain   
  var CadDef1 = ChainManager.GetGeometryInChain(CadTemp1);

 
  //point origin
  var origin = new Point3D(0, 0, 0);
  //point to transalate
  var PuntoZ = new Point3D(0, 0, 14.8);
      
  //using the chains
  foreach (var Chain in CadDef1)
  {
      //change color
      Chain.Color = 9;
      //translate
      Chain.Translate(origin, PuntoZ, ViewManager.CPlane, ViewManager.CPlane);
      //validate
      Chain.Validate();
      Chain.Commit();
  }
