Class FMESolid

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Overrides: object.__init__

This method returns the appearance reference within the Library associated with this solid. The front parameter controls whether this query should return the front or the back appearance reference. Both can be fetched independently. If this solid is a regular solid with no geometry instance, a FMEException will be thrown.

Parameters:

• front (bool) - Indicates whether the appearance reference should be fetched for the front or back.

Returns: int

The unique appearance reference for this appearance.

Raises:

• FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred or this solid is a regular solid with no geometry instance.

Returns the wireframe of the solid as a FMEMultiCurve. None is returned if a wireframe cannot be generated.

Returns: FMEMultiCurve or None

The wireframe of the solid as a FMEMultiCurve

Offsets the solid by the coords specified by 'offsetPoint'.

Parameters:

• offsetPoint (FMEPoint) - The FMEPoint to offset the solid by.

Returns: None

Raises:

• FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

Rotates this solid about the z-axis by the specified angle, in degrees.The rotation is performed relative to the center specified. A positive angle corresponds to a counter-clockwise rotation, when looking down onto the XY-plane.

Parameters:

• center (FMEPoint) - The center point of the solid.
• angle (float) - The angle by which the solid is rotated.

Returns: None

Raises:

• FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

Scale the feature by the given amounts.

Parameters:

• xScale (float) - The value to scale x by.
• yScale (float) - The value to scale y by.
• zScale (float) - The value to scale z by.

Returns: None

Raises:

• FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

This method associates an appearance within the Library with this solid. This is done by passing in the unique appearance reference for this appearance. Subsequent calls to this method on the same side, will override the previous appearance used with the new appearance passed in. An appearance reference of '0' represents the default appearance. Interpretation of the default appearance is left to the consumer of this geometry. When set at this FMESolid level, the appearance represents the default appearance to apply when the contained surfaces use the default appearance instead of a specific appearance. Contained surfaces may be found within nested solids, geometry instances that reference geometries containing surfaces, or as surfaces or multi-surfaces. The second parameter controls whether this action should take place on the front of the contained surfaces or the back. Both can be set independently. The appearanceRef should be a valid reference to a definition stored in the FMELibrary. If the reference was not found in the library, it will still attach the reference to the instance, but will throw a FMEException. This is an unhealthy situation as it represents a 'dangling reference'.

Parameters:

• appearanceRef (int) - The unique appearance reference for this appearance.
• front (bool) - Boolean indicting whether the appearance reference should be set for the front or back of the solid.

Returns: None

Raises:

• FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred or the reference was not found in the library and a dangling reference was attached.
