TransformCollection

A collection of transforms applied to the geometry.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

cuboid = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboid(cf.Point(0,0,0),1,1,1)

    -- Use the TransformCollection to add a geometry transform

transformGeometryCollection = cuboid.Transforms
transformGeometryCollection:AddTranslate(cf.Point(0,0,0),cf.Point(1,1,1))

    -- Retrieve and delete the transform

transformGeometryCollection:Item(1):Delete()

Inheritance

The TransformCollection object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The TransformCollection object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

Label

Method List

AddAlign (properties table)
Apply a align using a table defining the properties. (Returns a Align object.)
AddAlign (sourceorigin Point, sourceuvector Vector, sourcevvector Vector, destinationorigin Point, destinationuvector Vector, destinationvvector Vector)
Returns a Align object. (Returns a Align object.)
AddRotate (origin Point, rotationaxis Vector, angle Expression)
Apply a rotation. (Returns a Rotate object.)
AddRotate (properties table)
Apply a rotation using a table defining the properties. (Returns a Rotate object.)
AddScale (origin Point, factor Expression)
Apply a scale. (Returns a Scale object.)
AddScale (properties table)
Apply a scale using a table defining the properties. (Returns a Scale object.)
AddTranslate (from Point, to Point)
Apply a translate between the given coordinates. (Returns a Transform object.)
AddTranslate (properties table)
Apply a translate using a table defining the properties. (Returns a Translate object.)
Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
DeleteEntities ( List of Object)
Delete the given list of entities from the collection.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
SetProperties (properties Object)
