Class ContinuousDimension

A linear dimension where start and end are projected onto the dimension line.

Examples
var l = Polygon.L(5, 5, 1);

var m = new Mass(l, 1, BuiltInMaterials.Glass);
this.Model.AddElement(m);

// Flatten all polygon points along the X axis and sort.
var pts = new List<Vector3>();
var yz = new Plane(Vector3.Origin, Vector3.YAxis);
foreach (var pt in l.Vertices)
{
    var proj = pt.Project(yz);
    if (!pts.Contains(proj))
    {
        pts.Add(proj);
    }
}
pts.Sort(new DirectionComparer(Vector3.XAxis));

var dimensions = new List<LinearDimension>();
var refLine = new Line(new Vector3(0, 7, 0), new Vector3(5, 10, 0));
for (var i = 0; i < pts.Count - 1; i++)
{
    var d = new ContinuousDimension(pts[i], pts[i + 1], refLine);
    dimensions.Add(d);
}

Constructors

ContinuousDimension(Vector3, Vector3, Line)

Create a continuous dimension with an optional reference line. The start and end points will be projected onto the dimension line.

Declaration
public ContinuousDimension(Vector3 start, Vector3 end, Line dimensionLine)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Vector3 start

The start of the dimension.
Vector3 end

The end of the dimension.
Line dimensionLine

A line on which the start and end points will be projected.

ContinuousDimension(Vector3, Vector3, Plane, String, String, String)

Create a continuous dimension from JSON.

Declaration
[JsonConstructor]
public ContinuousDimension(Vector3 start, Vector3 end, Plane referencePlane, string prefix = null, string suffix = null, string displayValue = null)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Vector3 start

The start of the dimension.
Vector3 end

The end of the dimension.
Plane referencePlane

The plane on which the dimension will be projected.
System.String prefix

Text that appears before the dimension's value.
System.String suffix

Text that appears after the dimension's value.
System.String displayValue

Text that appears in place of the dimension's value.
