Restore Path

To generate a Path in the Main Menu select New Entity - > Generation - > Restore Path

To obtain the Path of a pipe-like shape, you should define the Pipe-like shell or solid and two pipe Bases, which can be defined by a wire, a face or a list of edges.

Select unpublished edges checkbox - if checked, allows selecting in the viewer the edges, that are not published in the Object Browser.

The Result of the operation will be a GEOM_Object (edge or wire).

Note

It is not always possible to obtain an exact or approximate copy of the Shape by applying the Pipe operation to the resulting "Path" wire with the first Base as the base; though in some particular cases it might work. Thus, Restore Path function should not be considered as an exact reverse operation of the Pipe.

Example:

Path (red) between two faces (green)

TUI Command: geompy.RestorePath(aShape, aBase1, aBase2)
Arguments: Name + 1 pipe-like shape (shell or solid) + 1 shape (edge, wire or face) for the first base + 1 shape (edge, wire or face) for the last base.
TUI Command: geompy.RestorePathEdges(aShape, listEdges1, listEdges2)
Arguments: Name + 1 pipe-like shape (shell or solid) + 1 list of edges for the first base + 1 list of edges for the last base.

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of creation of Complex Geometric Objects.
