SurfaceDefinitionBreaklinesAddNonDestructiveBreaklines(ObjectIdCollection, Double) Method

Adds non-destructive breaklines to a surface from a collection of entities.

Namespace: Autodesk.Civil.DatabaseServices
Assembly: AeccDbMgd (in AeccDbMgd.dll) Version: 13.8.0.292
Syntax
Copy
public SurfaceOperationAddBreakline AddNonDestructiveBreaklines(
	ObjectIdCollection breaklineEntities,
	double midOrdinateDistance
)

Parameters

breaklineEntities  ObjectIdCollection
A collection of ObjectIds for entities used to create breaklines.
midOrdinateDistance  Double
When the breakline is defined from a polyline with curves, the midOrdinateDistance value is used to tessellate the arcs in the polyline.

Return Value

SurfaceOperationAddBreakline
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException Thrown when:
  1. There is an invalid ObjectId in the breaklineEntities collection.
  2. midOrdinateDistance <= 0.0.
Remarks
When defining a non-destructive breakline, surface points are created at each vertex of the object and at each intersection of a surface triangle edge and the non-destructive breakline object.
