Instance Methods

edge

The edge method is used to retrieve the edge for the edge use.

Syntax:

edge = edgeuse.edge

Arguments:

Return Value:

edge - an Edge object used by this edge use

Comments:

Example:

depth = 100
width = 100
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
pts = []
pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
pts[1] = [width, 0, 0]
pts[2] = [width, depth, 0]
pts[3] = [0, depth, 0]
# Add the face to the entities in the model
face = entities.add_face pts
loop = face.outer_loop
edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
edgeuse = edgeuses[0]
edge = edgeuse.edge
if (edge)
 UI.messagebox edge
else
 UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

face

The face method is used to retrieve the face used by this edge use.

Syntax:

face = edgeuse.face

Arguments:

Return Value:

face - a Face object used by this edge use

Comments:

Example:

depth = 100
width = 100
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
pts = []
pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
pts[1] = [width, 0, 0]
pts[2] = [width, depth, 0]
pts[3] = [0, depth, 0]
# Add the face to the entities in the model
face = entities.add_face pts
loop = face.outer_loop
edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
edgeuse = edgeuses[0]
face = edgeuse.face
if (face)
 UI.messagebox face
else
 UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

loop

The loop method is used to retrieve the loop for this edge use.

Syntax:

loop = edgeuse.loop

Arguments:

Return Value:

loop - a Loop object that contains this edge use.

Comments:

Example:

depth = 100
width = 100
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
pts = []
pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
pts[1] = [width, 0, 0]
pts[2] = [width, depth, 0]
pts[3] = [0, depth, 0]
# Add the face to the entities in the model
face = entities.add_face pts
loop = face.outer_loop
edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
edgeuse = edgeuses[0]
loop = edgeuse.loop
if (loop)
 UI.messagebox loop
else
 UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

next

The next method is used to retrieve the next edge use in a loop.

Syntax:

next = edgeuse.next

Arguments:

Return Value:

next - the next EdgeUse object in a loop

Comments:

Example:

depth = 100
width = 100
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
pts = []
pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
pts[1] = [width, 0, 0]
pts[2] = [width, depth, 0]
pts[3] = [0, depth, 0]
# Add the face to the entities in the model
face = entities.add_face pts
loop = face.outer_loop
edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
edgeuse = edgeuses[0]
eunext = edgeuse.next
if (eunext)
 UI.messagebox eunext
else
 UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

partners

The partners method is used to retrieve all of the partner edge uses. This method allows you to find all Faces that use an edge.

Syntax:

partners = edgeuse.partners

Arguments:

Return Value:

partners - an array of partner Edge Use objects.

Comments:

Example:

depth = 100
width = 100
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
pts = []
pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
pts[1] = [width, 0, 0]
pts[2] = [width, depth, 0]
pts[3] = [0, depth, 0]
# Add the face to the entities in the model
face = entities.add_face pts
pts2 = []
pts2[0] = [100, 0, 0]
pts2[1] = [200, 0, 0]
pts2[2] = [200, 100, 0]
pts2[3] = [100,100,0]
# Add the face to the entities in the model
face2 = entities.add_face pts2
loop = face.outer_loop
edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
edgeuse = edgeuses[1]
p = edgeuse.partners
if (p)
 UI.messagebox p
else
 UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

previous

The previous method is used to retrieve the previous edge use in a loop.

Syntax:

edgeuse = edgeuse.previous

Arguments:

Return Value:

edgeuse - the previous Edge Use object in the loop

Comments:

Example:

depth = 100
width = 100
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
pts = []
pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
pts[1] = [width, 0, 0]
pts[2] = [width, depth, 0]
pts[3] = [0, depth, 0]
# Add the face to the entities in the model
face = entities.add_face pts
loop = face.outer_loop
edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
edgeuse = edgeuses[0]
euprevious = edgeuse.previous
if (euprevious)
 UI.messagebox euprevious
else
 UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

reversed?

The reversed? method is used to determine if the edge is reversed in this use.

Syntax:

status = edgeuse.reversed?
