Developer: RhinoScript
Summary: Demonstrates how to create a surface by revolving one or more profile curves using RhinoScript.
I want to use the AddRevSrf method to create a surface by revolving profile curves. But, the method only accepts, as an argument, a single curve. Is there a way to revolve more than one curve at a time and still create just a single surface?
Since the AddRevSrf method only accepts a single curve, you can use the JoinCurves method to join multiple curves into a single curve.
For example:
Option Explicit Sub MyRevolve ' Declare local variables Dim obj_list, crv_list, crv, axis0, axis1 ' Select one or more curves to revolve obj_list = Rhino.GetObjects("Select curves to revolve", 4, True, True) If IsNull(obj_list) Then Exit Sub ' Pick start of revolve axis axis0 = Rhino.GetPoint("Start of revolve axis") If IsNull(axis0) Then Exit Sub ' Pick end of revolve axis axis1 = Rhino.GetPoint("End of revolve axis", axis0) If IsNull(axis1) Then Exit Sub ' If more than one curve as picked, try to join them If (UBound(obj_list) > 0) Then crv_list = Rhino.JoinCurves(obj_list, False) Else crv_list = Array(obj_list(0)) End If ' Create the surfaces of revolution For Each crv In crv_list Call Rhino.AddRevSrf(crv, Array(axis0, axis1)) Next ' Delete the temporary joined curves Call Rhino.DeleteObjects(crv_list) End Sub
