|
|
Move a solid or a sketch.
|
|
|
|
```kcl
|
|
translate(
|
|
@objects: [Solid; 1+] | [Sketch; 1+] | ImportedGeometry,
|
|
x?: number(Length),
|
|
y?: number(Length),
|
|
z?: number(Length),
|
|
global?: bool,
|
|
): [Solid; 1+] | [Sketch; 1+] | ImportedGeometry
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is really useful for assembling parts together. You can create a part
|
|
and then move it to the correct location.
|
|
|
|
Translate is really useful for sketches if you want to move a sketch
|
|
and then rotate it using the `rotate` function to create a loft.
|
|
|
|
### Arguments
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|
|
|----------|------|-------------|----------|
|
|
| `objects` | [`[Solid; 1+]`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-Solid) or [`[Sketch; 1+]`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-Sketch) or [`ImportedGeometry`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-ImportedGeometry) | The solid, sketch, or set of solids or sketches to move. | Yes |
|
|
| `x` | [`number(Length)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | The amount to move the solid or sketch along the x axis. | No |
|
|
| `y` | [`number(Length)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | The amount to move the solid or sketch along the y axis. | No |
|
|
| `z` | [`number(Length)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | The amount to move the solid or sketch along the z axis. | No |
|
|
| `global` | [`bool`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-bool) | If true, the transform is applied in global space. The origin of the model will move. By default, the transform is applied in local sketch axis, therefore the origin will not move. | No |
|
|
|
|
### Returns
|
|
|
|
[`[Solid; 1+]`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-Solid) or [`[Sketch; 1+]`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-Sketch) or [`ImportedGeometry`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-ImportedGeometry)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```kcl
|
|
// Move a pipe.
|
|
|
|
// Create a path for the sweep.
|
|
sweepPath = startSketchOn(XZ)
|
|
|> startProfile(at = [0.05, 0.05])
|
|
|> line(end = [0, 7])
|
|
|> tangentialArc(angle = 90, radius = 5)
|
|
|> line(end = [-3, 0])
|
|
|> tangentialArc(angle = -90, radius = 5)
|
|
|> line(end = [0, 7])
|
|
|
|
// Create a hole for the pipe.
|
|
pipeHole = startSketchOn(XY)
|
|
|> circle(
|
|
center = [0, 0],
|
|
