FACE3D (3DFACE)¶
Type: Basic DXF R12 entity.
A 3DFace of three or four points.
-
DXFEngine.face3d(points=[], **kwargs)¶ Parameters: - points – list of three or four 2D- or 3D-points
- flags (int) – edge flags, bit-coded, default=0
access/assign 3dface points by index 0, 1, 2 or 3:
face3d[0] = (1.2, 4.3, 3.3)
face3d[1] = (7.2, 2.3, 4.4)
Flags defined in dxfwrite.const
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| FACE3D_FIRST_EDGE_IS_INVISIBLE | 1 |
| FACE3D_SECOND_EDGE_IS_INVISIBLE | 2 |
| FACE3D_THIRD_EDGE_IS_INVISIBLE | 4 |
| FACE3D_FOURTH_EDGE_IS_INVISIBLE | 8 |
Common Keyword Arguments for all Basic DXF R12 Entities¶
| keyword | description |
|---|---|
| layer | Layer name as string |
| linetype | Linetype name as string, if not defined = BYLAYER |
| color | as integer in range [1..255], 0 = BYBLOCK, 256 = BYLAYER |
| thickness | Thickness as float |
| paper_space | 0 = entity is in model_space, 1 = entity is in paper_space |
| extrusion_direction | 3D Point as tuple(x, y, z) if extrusion direction is not parallel to the World Z axis |
Attribs of DXF entities can be changed by the index operator:
from dxfwrite import DXFEngine as dxf
drawing = dxf.drawing('drawing.dxf')
# first edge is invisible
face3d = dxf.face3d([(0, 0), (2, 0), (2, 1), (0, 1)], flags=1)
face3d['layer'] = 'faces'
face3d['color'] = 7
# assign points by index 0, 1, 2, 3
face3d[0] = (1.2, 4.3, 1.9)
drawing.add(face3d)
drawing.save()
