true if object can be accurately modified with "squishy" transformations like projections, shears, and non-uniform scaling.

If true this object may not be modified. Any properties or functions that attempt to modify this object when it is set to "IsReadOnly" will throw a NotSupportedException.

Tests an object to see if it is valid.

Gets the item at the given index.

Useful for switch statements that need to differentiate between basic object types like points, curves, surfaces, and so on.

List of custom information that is attached to this class.

Dictionary of custom information attached to this class. The dictionary is actually user data provided as an easy to use shareable set of information.

Gets the amount of user strings.

Append a new point to the end of the list.

Append a new point to the end of the list.

Append a new point to the end of the list.

Appends a collection of points to this point cloud.

Appends a collection of points and normal vectors to this point cloud.

Appends a collection of points and normal vectors to this point cloud.

Appends a collection of points, normal vectors, and colors to this point cloud.

Appends a collection of points, normal vectors, colors, and extra values to this point cloud.

Appends a new PointCloudItem to the end of this point cloud.

Returns an enumerator and list indexer over point cloud locations.

Destroys the color information in this point cloud.

Destroys the hidden flag information in this point cloud.

Destroys the normal vector information in this point cloud.

Destroys the extra value information in this point cloud. Extra values can be used to store a user-defined values, such as intensity.

Returns index of the closest point in the point cloud to a given test point.

If this piece of geometry is a component in something larger, like a BrepEdge in a Brep, then this function returns the component index.

Assigns a parent object and a sub-object index to this.

Creates a planar curves by intersecting a plane with a point cloud.

Creates a planar curves by intersecting a plane with a point cloud.

Creates planar curves by intersecting a plane with a point cloud.

Creates a planar curve by intersecting a plane with a point cloud.

Returns a CRC calculated from the information that defines the object. This CRC can be used as a quick way to see if two objects are not identical.

Actively reclaims unmanaged resources that this instance uses.

Overridden in order to destroy local display cache information

Constructs a deep (full) copy of this object.

Constructs a light copy of this object. By "light", it is meant that the same underlying data is used until something is done to attempt to change it. For example, you could have a shallow copy of a very heavy mesh object and the same underlying data will be used when doing things like inspecting the number of faces on the mesh. If you modify the location of one of the mesh vertices, the shallow copy will create a full duplicate of the underlying mesh data and the shallow copy will become a deep copy.

If you want to keep a copy of this class around by holding onto it in a variable after a command completes, call EnsurePrivateCopy to make sure that this class is not tied to the document. You can call this function as many times as you want.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Passively reclaims unmanaged resources when the class user did not explicitly call Dispose().

Bounding box solver. Gets the world axis aligned bounding box for the geometry.

Aligned Bounding box solver. Gets the plane aligned bounding box.

Aligned Bounding box solver. Gets the world axis aligned bounding box for the transformed geometry.

Aligned Bounding box solver. Gets the plane aligned bounding box.

Copy all the point colors in this point cloud to an array.

Gets an enumerator that allows to modify each point cloud point.

Serves as the default hash function.

Copy all the normal vectors in this point cloud to an array.

Populates a System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo with the data needed to serialize the target object.

Copy all the point coordinates in this point cloud to an array.

Copy all the extra point values in this point cloud to an array. Extra values can be used to store a user-defined value, such as intensity.

Returns a random subsample of a point cloud.

Returns a random subsample of a point cloud.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Allows the developer to obtain unsafe pointers to the underlying unmanaged data structures of the PointCloud.

Gets user string from this geometry.

Gets a copy of all (user key string, user value string) pairs attached to this geometry.

Inserts a new point into the point list.

Inserts a new point into the point list.

Inserts a new point into the point list.

Inserts a new point into the point list.

Inserts a new point into the point list.

Inserts a new PointCloudItem at a specific position of the point cloud.

Append a collection of points to this point cloud.

Determines if an object is valid. Also provides a report on errors if this object happens not to be valid.

If possible, converts the object into a form that can be accurately modified with "squishy" transformations like projections, shears, an non-uniform scaling.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Computes an estimate of the number of bytes that this object is using in memory.

Merges, or appends, a specified point cloud into this one.

Destroy cache handle

Is called when a non-constant operation occurs.

Returns the location of the point at a specific index.

Updates the PointCloud data with the information that was stored via the PointCloudUnsafeLock.

Remove the point at the given index.

Removes points at given indices.

Rotates the object about the specified axis. A positive rotation angle results in a counter-clockwise rotation about the axis (right hand rule).

Scales the object by the specified factor. The scale is centered at the origin.

Attach a user string (key,value combination) to this geometry.

Returns a ShrinkWrap mesh from this point cloud object.

Create a JSON string representation of this object

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Transforms the geometry. If the input Transform has a SimilarityType of OrientationReversing, you may want to consider flipping the transformed geometry after calling this function when it makes sense. For example, you may want to call Flip() on a Brep after transforming it.

Translates the object along the specified vector.

Translates the object along the specified vector.
