translate	Move a solid.	manual

Move a solid.

translate(
  solid: Solid,
  translate: [number],
  global?: bool,
): Solid

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
solid	Solid	The solid to move.	Yes
translate	[number]	The amount to move the solid in all three axes.	Yes
global	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 - A solid is a collection of extrude surfaces.

Examples

// Move a pipe.


// Create a path for the sweep.
sweepPath = startSketchOn('XZ')
  |> startProfileAt([0.05, 0.05], %)
  |> line(end = [0, 7])
  |> tangentialArc({ offset = 90, radius = 5 }, %)
  |> line(end = [-3, 0])
  |> tangentialArc({ offset = -90, radius = 5 }, %)
  |> line(end = [0, 7])

// Create a hole for the pipe.
pipeHole = startSketchOn('XY')
  |> circle(center = [0, 0], radius = 1.5)

sweepSketch = startSketchOn('XY')
  |> circle(center = [0, 0], radius = 2)
  |> hole(pipeHole, %)
  |> sweep(path = sweepPath)
  |> translate(translate = [1.0, 1.0, 2.5])
