As shown in the picture below. i am unable to reference to the curve of the airfoil to create an offset. I have tried smart variable, index and ray referencing. i have also tried to make it so that the edge is a Names selection, but i do not know the syntax on how to make a named selection as a selection.

If there is any way to resolve this it would be highly appreciated.

Hi Kurian, 

Do you want to translate the curve or want to create offset?

Thanks and Regards

If you are looking to create an offset curve please try below code. Once you have created surface, we enter the sketch mode and create an offset curve. Curve selection is done using GetRootPart().Curves[0]. 

#Start Constraint Based Sketching

result= SketchHelper.StartConstraintSketching()

 

# Set Sketch Plane

selection = FaceSelection.Create(GetRootPart().Bodies[0].Faces[0])

result = ViewHelper.SetSketchPlane(selection)

# EndBlock

 

CurveToOffSet = Selection.Create(GetRootPart().Curves[0])

offsetDistance = MM(-2)

result= SketchOffsetCurve.Create(CurveToOffSet,offsetDistance)

 

# Solidify Sketch

mode = InteractionMode.Solid

result = ViewHelper.SetViewMode(mode)

# EndBlock

 

Regards

Thanks a lot !! 

P. S: you must use it on a curve, not a surface(i lost too much time on this).

Thanks for the confirmation, Kurian!
