Public Functions

void AddKey(Key const &in_key)

Adds a key to be associated with this Component. This will additionally ensure this key can be used to find this Component via CADModel::GetComponentFromKey on the owning CADModel. In general, this will either be a SegmentKey or a GeometryKey (or a subclass thereof), but it may also be an IncludeKey, which is necessary for an instanced Component. If an IncludeKey is associated with this Component, the underlying target of the include will be associated with this Component, though the include will be stored as well to determine things like the associated KeyPath correctly.

Parameters

in_key – The key to associate with this Component.

void AddOwner(Component &in_owner, IncludeKey const &in_include = IncludeKey())

Adds an owner to this Component. This is intended to facilitate adding additional owners to an instanced Component, and allows specifying the associated IncludeKey for the additional owner. It is possible to add an owner without adding an IncludeKey, and, if desired, add the IncludeKey separately via AddKey.

Parameters
void AddReference(Component &in_reference)

Adds a Component as a reference to this Component.

Parameters

in_reference – The Component to add as a reference to this Component.

bool AddTransform(MatrixKit const &in_transform)

Appends a transform to the underlying PRC or Parasolid data associated with this component.

Warning

For Parasolid components, only transformations which are rigid motions can be applied. Calling SetTransform from a Parasolid component with a transform which is not a rigid motion, such as a shear, will cause the function to fail.

Warning

For Exchange components, only components of type ExchangeProductOccurrence, or components that have the type ExchangeRepresentationItemMask can have transforms applied to them. Additionally, SetTransform does not work on Exchange models which have a Drawing structure to them. This would include CATDrawing files and 2D DWG files loaded through Exchange. Any attempt to use this function on those models will produce a warning.

Parameters

in_transform – The transform to apply to this component.

Returns

true if transform was applied correctly, false otherwise.

virtual void Assign(Component const &in_that)

Share the underlying smart-pointer of the Component source.

Parameters

in_that – The Component source of the assignment.

Returns

A reference to this Component.

Component()

The default constructor creates an uninitialized Component object. The Type() function will return Type::None.

Component(Component &&in_that)

The move constructor creates a Component by transferring the underlying object of the rvalue reference to this Component.

Parameters

in_that – An rvalue reference to a Component to take the underlying object from.

Component(Component const &in_that)

The copy constructor creates a Component object that shares the underlying smart-pointer of the source Component.

Parameters

in_that – The source Component to copy.

Component CopyTo(HPS::Component const &in_new_owner)

Creates a deep copy of this component under another component. Please note how entity copying is handled for each type of entity:

  • Copying a RepresentationItem to a ProductOccurrence: The copy of the representation item will be inserted under the Part Definition under the target Product Occurrence

  • Copying a RepresentationItem to a PartDefinition: supported

  • Copying a RepresentationItem to a RepresentationItemSet: supported

  • Copying a PartDefinition to a ProductOccurrence: The function will create a new ProductOccurrence object, insert the copy into the children of this product occurrence and then insert this product occurrence under the target product occurrence. This is to avoid rewrite on the original PartDefinition of the target ProductOccurrence (if one exists)

  • Copying a ProductOccurrence to a ProductOccurrence: The newly created copy will be inserted under the target Product Occurrence. However we need to note that if the target ProductOccurrence already has a prototype, the prototype will not be visualized by HPS but only the newly created copy will be. In the case of ExternalData, both will be rendered by HPS.

  • Copying a ProductOccurrence to a Exchange ModelFile: The A3DAsmModelFile under the target component will be deleted, and a new one will be created. This new model is identical with the old model except that the copy of the source ProductOccurrence will be inserted under this new model. In this case, since we create a new CADModel, the reload process may take more time since we need to re-render the whole new model.

In any case, if the function fails, it will return an empty Component, so checking if the type of the returned component is None or not can be considered a way to test if the function succeeded or failed.

Additional notes about the deep copy process: The deep copy process for ProductOccurrence and RepresentationItem uses two functions of Exchange: A3DAsmProductOccurrenceDeepCopy and A3DRiRepresentationItemDeepCopy. These functions can make changes to the structure of the entity, so we may not have a copy that is an exact replica of the source entity. More on this can be found here: https://docs.techsoft3d.com/exchange/latest/api/group__a3d__productoccurrence.html#_CPPv431A3DAsmProductOccurrenceDeepCopyPK23A3DAsmProductOccurrencePP23A3DAsmProductOccurrence and https://docs.techsoft3d.com/exchange/latest/api/group__a3d__ricontent.html#_CPPv431A3DRiRepresentationItemDeepCopyPK23A3DRiRepresentationItemPP23A3DRiRepresentationItem

For PartDefinition and RepresentationItemSet, which lack a deep copy function in Exchange, the PartDefinition is only shallow copied, so its children pointers are shared between the source and the target. The deep copy process copies all the attributes of the source entity, thus, if the modelling matrix of the source entity if relative to its parents, the location of the copied entity will also be relative to its new parents. 

\param in_new_owner The component which will be the owner of the newly created component.
\return The newly created component.
\note This will currently only work for derived Exchange components.

void Delete(HPS::Component::DeleteMode mode = HPS::Component::DeleteMode::Standard)

The behavior of the Delete function varies according to the type of object it’s being called on.

HPS:

Removes this component from memory and invalidates any component objects referring to it. All owners of this component will no longer have it as a subcomponent, all components that reference this component will no longer have it as a reference, and the keys underlying this component will be deleted. Any subcomponents of this component that have multiple owners will have this component removed as an owner. Any subcomponents of this component that have only this component as an owner will be recursively deleted via this function.

Invoking this function on an instance of an object derived from Component will perform some additional cleanup relevant to the derived type. For example, performing a delete on a CADModel will delete the default capture associated with the CADModel, delete its associated Model, and delete the mapping information between keys and components, in addition to performing all the operations for a generic component. See below for the behavior of derived types in the integrations that create component trees.

Lastly, note that it is not necessary to construct or cast a component to its specific type to ensure the appropriate delete logic is used. The appropriate logic will always be invoked even if using a base Component object handle to a derived type.

Exchange:

Invoking delete on these types will not modify the associated Exchange data. It will remove the associated A3DEntity pointer and component from the mapping data accessible via Exchange::CADModel::GetComponentFromEntity, and then it will invoke the base Component delete logic. When invoking Delete on the last root HPS::Exchange::Component, the whole subtree is deleted, but a new root HPS::Exchange::Component will be associated to the CADModel in order to be consistent with HOOPS Exchange behavior. In this case, it has an empty product occurrence data structure with no child at the HPS::Exchange::Component level.

Invoking delete on an Exchange::CADModel will delete the underlying A3DAsmModelFile via A3DAsmModelFileDelete if Exchange::CADModel::GetEntityOwnership is true. It will additionally clean up the associated A3DRWParamsPrcReadHelper if one was created during import (see Exchange::ImportOptionsKit::SetPRCReadHelper). The mapping data between A3DEntity pointers and components will also be deleted, and lastly it will invoke the delete logic for the base CADModel.

Parasolid:

Invoking delete on this type will invoke PK_ENTITY_delete on the underlying Parasolid entity if the entity has class PK_CLASS_assembly or PK_CLASS_body. It will remove this Parasolid entity and component from the mapping data accessible via Parasolid::CADModel::GetComponentFromEntity, and then it will invoke the base Component delete logic.

The mapping data between Parasolid entities and components will be deleted, and then it will invoke the base CADModel delete logic.

DWG:

Invoking delete on these types will not modify the associated DWG database. It will simply invoke the base Component delete logic.

Invoking delete on a DWG::CADModel will release the underlying AcDbDatabase via acdbReleaseHostDwg, and then it will invoke the base CADModel delete logic.

Parameters

mode – The DeleteMode that we will use.

bool Equals(Component const &in_that) const

Check if the source Component points to the same underlying impl as this Component.

Parameters

in_that – The source Component to compare to this Component.

Returns

true if the objects reference the same impl, false otherwise.

void Flush()

Removes all references to the underlying subcomponents, but leaves this Component around. If a subcomponent of the component being flushed has multiple owners, the flush will simply remove the reference to that subcomponent. If a subcomponent of the component being flushed has only one owner (the component being flushed), that subcomponent will be deleted. Any handles to the deleted components will become invalid.

UTF8 GetName() const

Gets the name for this Component. This is a convenience function equivalent to getting the “Name” metadata for this Component. If a Component does not have a name, an empty UTF8 object will be returned.

Returns

The name (if any) for this Component.

ComponentArray GetOwners() const

Get the Component objects (if any) which “own” this Component. Generally this will be a single element or no elements for a root component. It is possible for there to be multiple owners of a Component if it is instanced (i.e., it may have both a prototype and a containing Component).

See

GetReferrers()

Returns

The Component objects (if any) which “own” this Component.

ComponentArray GetReferences() const

Returns

The Component objects (if any) which are referenced by this Component.

ComponentArray GetReferrers() const

Gets the Component objects which refer to this Component

(if any). These relationships are defined in the original CAD file and can be arbitrarily assigned between Components.

Returns

The declared type of the object in question, which may differ from the true, underlying type.

bool operator!=(Component const &in_that) const

Check if the source Component points to a different impl than this Component.

Parameters

Warning

For Parasolid components, only transformations which are rigid motions can be applied. Calling SetTransform from a Parasolid component with a transform which is not a rigid motion, such as a shear, will cause the function to fail.

Warning

For Exchange components, only components of type ExchangeProductOccurrence, or components that have the type ExchangeRepresentationItemMask can have transforms applied to them. Additionally, SetTransform does not work on Exchange models which have a Drawing structure to them. This would include CATDrawing files and 2D DWG files loaded through Exchange. Any attempt to use this function on those models will produce a warning.

Parameters

in_transform – The transform to apply to this component.

Returns

true if transform was applied correctly, false otherwise.

virtual ~Component()

Releases a reference to this Component. The Component will not be deleted unless the final reference is destroyed.

Public Static Functions

static KeyPathArray GetKeyPath(Component const &in_component)

Gets the list of KeyPath objects that correspond to the given Component. There will be at least one KeyPath, and possibly more than one if a particular Component is instanced, e.g., if the Component corresponds to the wheel of a car, a KeyPath would be returned for each wheel (driver side front and rear, and passenger side front and rear). Each KeyPath in the list will also include the portion of the path above the Model (associated with the root CADModel) for each View, Layout layer, and Canvas permutation which includes the Model. This function will not take into account any includes or paths which do not come from the Component hierarchy or the View, Layout, and Canvas permutations which include the Model.

See

HighlightControl

Parameters

in_component – The Component for which to compute the corresponding KeyPath objects.

Returns

A list of all KeyPath objects which refer to the given Component.

static KeyPathArray GetKeyPath(ComponentArray const &in_components)

Gets the list of KeyPath objects that correspond to the given ComponentPath. This function can be used to get the KeyPath for a particular instance of an instanced Component. For a non-instanced Component, since the ComponentPath can be determined unambiguously, the KeyPath returned will be the same as if only the leaf non-instanced Component was given to this function. There will be at least one KeyPath returned, and possibly more than one for each View, Layout layer, and Canvas which include the Model associated with the root CADModel. This function will not take into account any includes or paths which do not come from the Component hierarchy or the View, Layout, and Canvas permutations which include the Model.

See

HighlightControl

Parameters

in_components – The ComponentPath for which to compute the corresponding KeyPath objects. The path should be defined such that the first element is the leaf Component, and the last element is the root CADModel. Each element in the path should be an owner of the preceding Component, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Returns

A list of all KeyPath objects which refer to the given Component.

static KeyPathArray GetKeyPath(size_t in_count, Component const in_components[])

Gets the list of KeyPath objects that correspond to the given ComponentPath. This function can be used to get the KeyPath for a particular instance of an instanced Component. For a non-instanced Component, since the ComponentPath can be determined unambiguously, the KeyPath returned will be the same as if only the leaf non-instanced Component was given to this function. There will be at least one KeyPath returned, and possibly more than one for each View, Layout layer, and Canvas which include the Model associated with the root CADModel. This function will not take into account any includes or paths which do not come from the Component hierarchy or the View, Layout, and Canvas permutations which include the Model.

See

HighlightControl

Parameters

  • in_components – The ComponentPath for which to compute the corresponding KeyPath objects. The path should be defined such that the first element is the leaf Component, and the last element is the root CADModel. Each element in the path should be an owner of the preceding Component, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Returns

A list of all KeyPath objects which refer to the given Component.
