hi ,every one .

I  created a extend use natural type(Picture_1).

And inputed  a distace(10mm) but the distance is along face's tangent direction(Picture_2).

But the distance is not 10mm along natural direction  (Picture_3).

for example can i use  curvature to calculate the distance_1.

 

extendFeatures = _rootComp.features.extendFeatures
inputEdges2 = adsk.core.ObjectCollection.create()
inputEdges2 =...

extendFeatureInput = extendFeatures.createInput(inputEdges2, distance_1, adsk.fusion.SurfaceExtendTypes.NaturalSurfaceExtendType)
extendFeatureInput.extendAlignment = adsk.fusion.SurfaceExtendAlignment.FreeEdges
newExtendFeature = extendFeatures.add(extendFeatureInput)

I don't think this has anything to do with the API, but it is how the Extend function works internally. I get the same result using the user interface to create the extend feature.

 

I would report this on the Fusion Support forum and just show the steps using the UI and not mention the API. Talking about the API there will just confuse the issue.
