# Synopsis

PDX_MSGT picr_Fin(long option, int model, MDA_PTR orig_db_ptr, int tag, int identifier, MDA_PTR curve, int curve_sense, MDA_PTR edge, int edge_sense, int fin_type, MDA_PTR *fin_ptr)

# Purpose

Create the PINT model Fin entity.

# Description

This function creates a PINT Fin entity for the given input data. The data provided must result in a valid definition. The orig_db_ptr argument should contain the database pointer of the entity that the new entity was created from (usually this should be obtained by the calling routine via mda_GetOrigDbptr) or MDA_NULL_PTR. See the mda_intro man page for more information about predecessor entities.

# Input

## option

### PICR_VALIDATE

Validate the entity fields

### PICR_NOVALIDATE

Do not validate the entity fields

## model

PINT model for entity creation

## identifier

Parasolid's identifier

## orig_db_ptr

The original entities orig_db_ptr as obtained from the mda_GetOrigDbptr call, or MDA_NULL_PTR

## tag

Parasolid tag for this entity

## curve

MDA_PTR of curve for this fin

## curve_sense

### PINT_TRUE

The direction of the curve agrees with the fin

### PINT_FALSE

The direction of the curve does not agree with the fin

## edge

MDA_PTR of edge for this fin

## edge_sense

### PINT_TRUE

The direction of the edge agrees with the fin

### PINT_FALSE

The direction of the edge does not agree with the fin

## fin_type

### PINT_FIN_WIRE

The fin has a sibling fin from parent edge in same loop

### PINT_FIN_BIWIRE

The fin has a sibling fin in another loop

### PINT_FIN_NORMAL

The fin is owned by one edge

# Output

## fin_ptr

The PINT model pointer

# Return

          Low level error return
