pytha.create_polyline

Creates a block (mathematically a cuboid) in PYTHA as new part.

Similar to the Faces -> Polygon function in the PYTHA user interface.

pytha.create_polygon(loop_points [,loop_segments [,holes [,options]]]) 

Parameter	Type	Description
loop_points	{{x,y,z}, ...}	Coordinates of the loop points
loop_segments	{segment, ...}	Optional specification of the segments, where each segment may be a table to indicate the following options:
segment.angle	number	Angle of the arc, positive for counter-clockwise arcs
segment.radius	number	Radius of the arc
segment.orientation	"cw" or "ccw"	For radius specification: clockwise or counter-clockwise orientation
segment.select_arc	"small", "large"	For radius specification: selection of the small or large arc with that radius and orientation
segment.bulge	number	Maximum distance between the secant and the arc, positive for counter-clockwise arcs
holes	{hole_points, hole_segments, ...}	Alternating hole-coordinates and hole-segments, similar to loop_points and loop_segments
options	{...}	Optional: a table that may contain the following options:
options.u_axis	{x,y,z}	Local coordinate u-axis for the orientation of the plane
options.v_axis	{x,y,z}	Local coordinate v-axis for the orientation of the plane
options.w_axis	{x,y,z}	Local coordinate w-axis for the orientation of the plane-normal

Return value

Type	Description
element_handle	An element handle of the newly created part
