createPoint(GeomName, Vector, VertexRef)

Point: Create a point

Alias: pnt
Constraints: Referenced
Parameters:

  • GeomName (str) – Name. Conditions: “” input must be non-empty.

  • Vector (Point) – Vector: Vector with origin in reference point.

Return type:

Return a GeomPoint

Example:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Example: Creating a geometric point entity

# --- Non-referenced mode ---
# In this mode, the point is created directly from coordinates.

point_geom_entity = createPoint("Point", Point(0, 0, 0))

# --- Referenced mode ---
# In this mode, the new point entity references another existing point entity.
# This is useful when creating hierarchical or dependent geometry relationships.

point_geom_entity = createPoint("Point (2)", Point(1, 0, 0), point_geom_entity)

# Result:
#   - "Point" is created at (0, 0, 0)
#   - "Point (2)" is created at (1, 0, 0) and references the previous one
createPointOnCurve(CurveRef, UParam)

On curve: Create a point on a curve

Alias: pntOnCurve
Parameters:

  • CurveRef (POCCGeomLine) – Curve: Curve on which the point will be created. Conditions: The input must be non-empty. “” does not exist in the dropdown list.

  • UParam (Double) – UParam: U parameter that determines the position of the point on the geometric entity.

Return type:

Return a GeomPoint

createPointOnCurve(GeomName, CurveRef, UParam)

On curve: Create a point on a curve

Alias: pntOnCurve
Parameters:

  • GeomName (str) – Name. Conditions: “” input must be non-empty.

  • CurveRef (POCCGeomLine) – Curve: Curve on which the point will be created. Conditions: The input must be non-empty. “” does not exist in the dropdown list.

  • UParam (Double) – UParam: U parameter that determines the position of the point on the geometric entity.

Return type:

Return a GeomPoint

Example:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Example: Creating a point along a line (curve parameter)

# First, create a line geometry entity
line_geom_entity = createLine("Curve", Point(0, 0, 0), Point(1, 0, 0))

u_param = 1.0  # Position along the curve where the point will be created

# Create a point located at the specified parameter on the curve
point_geom_entity = createPointOnCurve("Point", line_geom_entity, u_param)

# Result:
#   - A point is created at the end of the line (since u_param = 1.0)
#   - For u_param = 0.5, the point would be located at the midpoint
createPointOnFace(SurfaceRef, UParam, VParam)

On surface: Create a point on a surface

Alias: pntOnFace
Parameters:

  • SurfaceRef (POCCQuad) – Face: Face on which the point will be created. Conditions: The input must be non-empty. “” does not exist in the dropdown list.

  • UParam (Double) – UParam: U parameter that determines the position of the point on the geometric entity.

  • VParam (Double) – VParam: V parameter that determines the position of the point on the geometric entity.

Return type:

Return a GeomPoint

createPointOnFace(GeomName, SurfaceRef, UParam, VParam)

On surface: Create a point on a surface

Alias: pntOnFace
Parameters:

  • GeomName (str) – Name. Conditions: “” input must be non-empty.

  • SurfaceRef (POCCQuad) – Face: Face on which the point will be created. Conditions: The input must be non-empty. “” does not exist in the dropdown list.

  • UParam (Double) – UParam: U parameter that determines the position of the point on the geometric entity.

  • VParam (Double) – VParam: V parameter that determines the position of the point on the geometric entity.

Return type:

Return a GeomPoint

Example:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Example: Creating a point on a surface using (u, v) parameters

# First, create a quad surface geometry entity
quad_geom_entity = createQuad(
    "Surface",
    Point(0, 0, 0),
    Point(1, 0, 0),
    Point(1, 1, 0),
    Point(0, 1, 0)
)

# Define the surface parameters (0.0 to 1.0 along u and v directions)
u_param = 1.0  # U-direction parameter
v_param = 1.0  # V-direction parameter

# Create a point located on the surface at (u_param, v_param)
point_geom_entity = createPointOnFace("Point", "Surface", u_param, v_param)

# Result:
#   - A point is created at the corner of the quad corresponding to u=1, v=1
#   - Changing u_param or v_param moves the point along the surface
