Part.Line has no StartPoint and no EndPoint in 0.17

[wmayer]

In the past Part.Line was handled as a line segment which had a start and end point. This however was inconsistent to other geometry types and thus Part.LineSegment has been introduced and Part.Line is considered as an infinite line from then on.

The Curve attribute of an edge always returns the actual (untrimmed) geometry -- in your case the infinite line.
There are two ways to get the both end points of the edge:

Code: Select all

box.Edge1.firstVertex().Point
box.Edge1.lastVertex().Point

or

Code: Select all

segm=box.Edge1.Curve.trim(*box.Edge1.ParameterRange)
segm.StartPoint
segm.EndPoint

There is one point you have to take care of:
If an edge has reversed orientation then the edge's start and end points are swapped compared to the underlying geometry. So, in case it's important to consider the orientation of the edge you must pass True to the functions firstVertex/lastVertex.

thanks werner for the explanation in the regard of line, line segment and curve.

Draft module DraftGeomUtils.py have a fillet function, but I've never played with it...

seams to do the trick

Code: Select all

import Part, DraftGeomUtils
box = Part.makeBox(10,10,10)
l1 = box.Edges[0]
l2 = box.Edges[1]
radius = 5
edges = DraftGeomUtils.fillet([l1, l2], 5)
Part.show(l1)
Part.show(l2)
for e in edges:
    Part.show(e)

fillets in BOLTS are fixed https://github.com/boltsparts/BOLTS/com ... e749303f78

Cool, so it seems there's the material for a new Draft command too!

yeah!
