Synopsis
PDX_MSGT gdx_RevSurfGeneratrixParms(long option, MDA_PTR curve_ptr, MTH_3DPNT center, MTH_3DVEC vec_axis, double start_angle, double *angle, MTH_3DVEC vec_seam)
Description
The parameters of the generatrix curve of a revolving surface will be found. The parameters include the sweeping angle of the the curve on a plane that is perpendicular to the revolve axis, and a vector that is perpendicular to the axis and goes through a point on the seam if the sweeping angle is zero, otherwise NULL.
The generatrix curve is a single entity curve.
Input
option
Options (not used)
curve_ptr

start_angle
The start angle of the revolving surface
Output
angle
The sweeping angle
vec_seam
The vector that is perpendicular to the revolve axis and passes through a point on the seam if angle is zero, otherwise, NULL.
