ExtrudeCurveTapered

Creates a surface by extruding a curve to a taper. Unlike Lofts and Sweeps, the initial orientation of the profile curve is maintained through the extrusion.

Syntax

Rhino.ExtrudeCurveTapered (strCurve, dblDistance, arrDirection, arrBasePoint, dblAngle [, intCornerType])

Parameters

strCurve

Required. String. The identifier of the curve object to extrude.

dblDistance

Required. Number. The extrusion distance.

arrDirection

Required. Array. A 3-D vector that specifies the extrusion direction.

arrBasePoint

Required. Array. A 3-D point that specifies the base point of the extrusion.

dblAngle

Required. Number. The angle of the extrusion.

intCornerType

Optional. Number. The corner type of the extrusion, where:

Value	Description
0 (Default)	No corner
1	Sharp - Offsets and extends curves with a straight line until they intersect.
2	Round - Offsets and fillets curves with an arc of radius equal to the offset distance.
3	Smooth - Offsets and connects curves with a smooth (G1 continuity) curve.
4	Chamfer - Offsets and connects curves with a straight line between their endpoints.

Returns

Array	An array of strings identifying the newly created surface objects if successful.
Null	If not successful, or on error.

Example

Dim strCurve

strCurve = Rhino.AddCircle(Rhino.WorldXYPlane, 5)

Rhino.ExtrudeCurveTapered strCurve, 5.0, Array(0,0,1), Array(0,0,0), 20
