| Erwin | 2009/06/29 12:16 | If I want to make a cone with circular base, I use 'BRepPrimAPI_MakeCylinder'.
but when I make a sylinder with elliptical base, I don't know about it.

I'm absolutely not sure if the following procedure works, but you might give it a try:
1. Create a gp_Elips : gp_Elips anEllipse(A2 : Ax2; MajorRadius, MinorRadius : Real);
2. Make a TopoDS_Edge: BRepBuilder_MakeEdge edgeMaker(anEllipse);
TopoDS_Edge anEdge = edgeMaker.Edge();
3. Make a TopoDS_Wire: BRepBuilderAPI_MakeWire wireMaker(anEdge);
TopoDS_Wire aWire = wireMaker.Wire();
4. Make a TopoDS_Face: BRepBuilderAPI_MakeFace faceMaker(aWire);
TopoDS_Face aFace = faceMaker.Face();
5. Make a Prism: BRepPrimAPI_MakePrism prismMaker(aFace);
TopoDS_Shape finalShape = prismMaker.Shape();
I did NOT test the listed steps.
I hope it is of any help.
Good luck,
Dennis | |
