Construction of Primitives Overview

 

The BRepPrimAPI package provides an API (Application Programming Interface) for:

Construction of primitives such as:

Construction by sweeping along a profile:

 

Sweeps are objects you obtain by sweeping a profile along a path. The profile can be any topology and the path is usually a curve or a wire. The profile generates objects according to the following rules:

 

You are not allowed to sweep Solids and Composite Solids.

Swept constructions along complex profiles such as BSpline curves are also available in the BRepOffsetAPI package.

 

This API provides simple, high level calls for the most common operations.
