construction.Axis

construction.Axis(origin, direction, *, owner=None)

A feature’s axis of revolution, exposed as a reusable reference.

A revolve has no planar faces to speak of — its surface is curved almost everywhere — but it does know the line it was swept around, which is what a downstream sketch, a mirror, or a circular pattern actually needs.

Parameters

Name Type Description Default
origin A point on the axis, in world space. required
direction Axis direction; normalized on construction. required
owner The feature that declared the axis. None

Methods

Name Description
point A point distance along the axis from its origin.
