SAC: Additional API Functions for Links, Points, and Surfaces

SAC: Additional API Functions for Links, Points, and Surfaces

I'd like to see more API functions in Subassembly Composer:

L1 (AL1) class

  • L1.arcradius      [Applicable to filet arcs, arc curves, and arc daylight rounding]
  • L1.arccenterx       [I wouldn't cry if this wasn't added but I'd use it if it was there to generate a auxiliary center point of a radius to mimic an existing arc that I only want to recreate a portion of]
  • L1.arccentery     [I wouldn't cry if this wasn't added but I'd use it if it was there to generate a auxiliary center point of a radius to use to mimic an existing arc that I only want to recreate a portion of]
  • L1.yATxfromlinkstart(x)  [Currently if I want to reference a y elevation along a link  at a certain x that I can't calculate using simple linear geometry I have to draw a vertical auxiliary link and add an auxiliary intersection point and use API functions on the point, would be nice to skip steps]

S1 (AS1) class      [Auxiliary shapes would need to be added to make full use of adding shape API functions]

  • S1.area          [While most shapes you can calculate out manually using geometry this would be a HUGE help for shapes generated using surface links, there are instances where if the cross sectional area is over or under a certain threshold I'd want to change something and recreate another shape to test it's area to meet a threshold]

Baseline class       

  • Baseline.radius      [A bit of additional information to use alongside TurnDirection, Not on curve = 0]
