# NURBSLatheSurface : NURBSSurface

This class defines a dependent Lathe surface. A Lathe surface is generated from a curve sub-object. It is similar to a surface created with the Lathe modifier. The advantage is that a lathe sub-object is part of the NURBS model, so you can use it to construct other curve and surface sub-objects.

Constructors

    NURBSLatheSurface [<property>:<val>]...

Any of the object's properties may be set via optional keyword arguments on the constructor.

    getObject <nurbsset> <index>

Properties

    <nurbslathesurface>.parent : integer

The parent curve by NURBSet index.

    <nurbslathesurface>.parentID : integer

The parent curve by NURBSId.

    <nurbslathesurface>.axisTM : matrix3

The axis system for the surface of revolution.

    <nurbslathesurface>.sweep : float

The angle of the revolution in degrees.

    <nurbsextrudesurface>.curveStartPoint : float

The start point on the parent curve. This value is only applicable if the curve is closed.
