Streamspace Solids API

This is a writeonly API – you can create 3D models. You can’t read properties or modify existing objects - that will apear in a future release.

Sample usage: below.

For AutoCAD / AutoCAD LT 2000, 2000i and 2002

strmApi.h

strmcmd3d.lib

For AutoCAD / AutoCAD LT 2004

strmApi.h

strmcmd3d.lib

Sample usage:

Below segments are from the application:

void strm3Dcylinder()

{

      AcGePoint3d       axisStart, axisEnd;

      double                  radius;

      if    (!strmGetPoint("\nAxis startpoint: ", axisStart))

            return;

      if    (!strmGetPoint("\nAxis endpoint: ", axisStart, axisEnd))

            return;

      if    (!strmGetDistance(axisStart, "\nRadius: ", radius))

            return;

      AcDbObjectId      res;

      if    (!strmGenerateCylinder(axisStart, axisEnd, radius, res))

            ads_printf( "\nCould not add the cylinder to the database.\n" );

}

void strm3Dextrude()

{

      AcDbObjectId            eId;

      AcGePoint3dArray  pts;

      AcGeDoubleArray         bulges;

      AcGeVector3d            vEz, vDir;

      double                        dHeight;

      if    (!strmGetSketch("\nSelect polyline:", eId, pts, bulges, vEz))

            return;

      vEz.normalize();

      if    (!strmGetDistance("\nSelect height:", dHeight))

            return;

      vDir=dHeight*vEz;

      AcDbObjectId      resultingEntityId;

      if    (strmExtrudeOperation(pts, bulges, vEz, vDir, resultingEntityId))

      {

            Handler<AcDbEntity>           handler(eId);

            AcDbEntity                    *ent=handler.write();

            if    (ent)

                  ent->erase();

      }

}

void strm3Dsphere()

{

      AcGePoint3d center;

      double            radius = 0.0;

      if    (!strmGetPoint("\nCenter of sphere: ", center))

            return;

      if    (!strmGetDistance(center, "\nRadius of sphere: ", radius))

            return;

      AcDbObjectId      res;

      if    (!strmGenerateSphere(center, radius, res))

            ads_printf( "\nCould not add the sphere to the database.\n" );

}

void strm3Dunion()

{

      AcDbObjectIdArray arIds;

      if    (!strmGetEntityIds("\nSelect objects to unite ...", arIds))

            return;

      if    (arIds.length()<2)

            ads_printf("\nNeed at least two objects!");

      else

      {

            AcDbObjectId      res;

            if    (!strmApplyBooleanOperation(arIds, AcDb::kBoolUnite, res))

                  ads_printf( "\nCould not add the new object to the database.\n" );

      }    

}

The strmGetX are equivalent of your standard objectarx interface functions. They are available in this release.
