ParametricExpression

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:NewProject()
paraboloid =
project.Contents.Geometry:AddParaboloid(cf.Paraboloid.GetDefaultProperties())

    -- Add a work surface onto the paraboloid face

workSurface = project.Definitions.WorkSurfaces:Add(paraboloid.Faces["Face1"], 0)

    -- Move the worksurface using a parametric expression

workSurface.Offset = 1/5 * 40
