Detailed Description

Object properties CAD tab. This interface can be accessed via the INCERow interface.

Usage (see Example 09 for a full sample)

C#

// Access the CAD settings for object 1
INCECADData Obj1_CAD = Obj1.CADData; // Retrieve CAD data
// Determine if the surface-to-face mappint is available for this object.
// If available, update the mapping based on the total number of surfaces in the system
if (Obj1_CAD.HasFaceData)
{
if (Obj1_CAD.NumberOfSurfaces > 1)
{
// Assign the last face to surface 0. Now, the first and last surfaces will be defined with the same scatter and coating properties
Obj1_CAD.SetSurfaceFace(0, Obj1_CAD.NumberOfSurfaces - 1);
}
