Construct Points Cylindrically Shifted    

Copies points and translates them by the specified Cylindrical offset (expressed relative to a reference object’s local coordinate system).

 

Input Arguments

 

0

Collection Object Name

Reference Object Name

Object whose local coordinate system defines the R, theta, and Z directions.

1

Point Name Ref List

Original Points

A list of the points to copy and shift.

2

Collection Object Name

Group for New Points

The group to contain the new points.

3

Double

Radial Shift

The radial amount to shift the points.

4

Double

Theta Shift (degrees)

The angular amount to shift the points.

5

Double

Planar Shift

The planar amount to shift the points.

 

Return Arguments

None.

 

Returned Status

 

SUCCESS

The points were created successfully.

PARTIAL SUCCESS

At least one source point (but not all) was found.

FAILURE

None of the source points were found, or the reference object was not found.

 

Remarks

The newly shifted points are essentially copies of the original points. As such, any points which are measured targets are converted to constructed points, and their offsets are reset to zero.

If the specified points already exist, they will automatically be sequenced to prevent duplicate point names.
