Description

A Profile is a planar region surrounded by an outer boundary, and optionally containing inner 'hole' boundaries. It is not legal for holes to intersect each other or the outer boundary. A boundary is a close set of curves.

Parameter Rules

boundary: An array of CurveTo objects. It recommended that they be connected in a counter-clockwise (about the +Z axis) direction.
Example:var myRadius = 1;
var myHeight = 3;
var myLength = 10;
var baseX = 0;
var baseY = 5;
 
return [
{op: 'moveTo', x1: baseX, y1: baseY},
{op: 'lineTo', x1: baseX, y1: baseY+myHeight-myRadius},
{op: 'quadraticCurveTo', x1: baseX, y1: baseY+myHeight, x2:  myRadius, y2:baseY+myHeight},
{op: 'lineTo', x1: baseX+myLength-myRadius, y1: baseY+myHeight},
{op: 'quadraticCurveTo', x1: baseX+myLength, y1: baseY+myHeight, x2: baseX+myLength , y2:baseY+myHeight-myRadius },
{op: 'lineTo', x1: baseX+myLength, y1: baseY},
{op: 'lineTo', x1: baseX, y1: baseY}
];

 

boundaryPolygon: An array of co-planar Points. It recommended that they be connected in a counter-clockwise (about the +Z axis) direction.
Example:return[p(0,0,0),
      p(0,3,0),
      p(10,3,0),
      p(10,0,0),
      p(0,0,0)];

 

holePolygons: An array of arrays of co-planar Points. It recommended that they be connected in a clockwise (about the +Z axis) direction.
Example:return [[p(0.5,0.5,0),p(0.5,2.5,0),p(2.5,2.5,0),p(2.5,0.5,0),p(0.5,0.5,0)],
      [p(6.5,0.5,0),p(6.5,2.5,0),p(8.5,2.5,0),p(8.5,0.5,0),p(6.5,0.5,0)]];

       

      //Needs to be an array of arrays
      //[[holePoints],[holePoints]]

 

hole: An array of arrays of CurveTo objects. It recommended that they be connected in a clockwise (about the +Z axis) direction.
Example:var baseY = 5;
return [[{op: 'moveTo', x1: 0.5, y1: baseY+.5},
        {op: 'lineTo', x1: 0.5, y1: baseY+2.5},
        {op: 'lineTo', x1: 2.5, y1: baseY+2.5},
        {op: 'lineTo', x1: 2.5, y1: baseY+.5},
        {op: 'lineTo', x1: 0.5, y1: baseY+.5}],

       

        [{op: 'moveTo', x1: 6.5, y1: baseY+.5},
        {op: 'lineTo', x1: 6.5, y1: baseY+2.5},
        {op: 'lineTo', x1: 8.5, y1: baseY+2.5},
        {op: 'lineTo', x1: 8.5, y1: baseY+.5},
        {op: 'lineTo', x1: 6.5, y1: baseY+.5}]];

 

areaProps: Returns { area: <number>, centroid: <Point> } ...Not a Parameter.
Example:{"area":30,"centroid":{"x":5,"y":1.5,"z":0}}

Project Example:

In your kBridge Examples Projects folder open the project called ‘Profile Example’.

 

profile0

Reference Location:

'world.profile_example.profilewithhole.myprofile1'

Link: https://knowledgebridge.engineer/projects

 

Open the Profile Example  project.

 

If you look at Profile_Example/ProfileWithHole/myProfile1, the 2 parameter used are boundaryPolygon and holePolygons.

 

profile1
profile1

 

If you look at Profile_Example/ProfileWithHole/myProfile2, the 2 parameter used are boundary and holes. By using these 2 parameters you can

create curved corners.
