|
Move a solid or a sketch.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
translate(
|
|
objects: SolidOrSketchOrImportedGeometry,
|
|
x?: number,
|
|
y?: number,
|
|
z?: number,
|
|
global?: bool,
|
|
): SolidOrSketchOrImportedGeometry
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Arguments
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|
|
|----------|------|-------------|----------|
|
|
| `objects` | [`SolidOrSketchOrImportedGeometry`](/docs/kcl/types/SolidOrSketchOrImportedGeometry) | The solid, sketch, or set of solids or sketches to move. | Yes |
|
|
| `x` | [`number`](/docs/kcl/types/number) | The amount to move the solid or sketch along the x axis. Defaults to 0 if not provided. | No |
|
|
| `y` | [`number`](/docs/kcl/types/number) | The amount to move the solid or sketch along the y axis. Defaults to 0 if not provided. | No |
|
|
| `z` | [`number`](/docs/kcl/types/number) | The amount to move the solid or sketch along the z axis. Defaults to 0 if not provided. | No |
|
|
| `global` | [`bool`](/docs/kcl/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
|
|
|
|
[`SolidOrSketchOrImportedGeometry`](/docs/kcl/types/SolidOrSketchOrImportedGeometry) - Data for a solid or an imported geometry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// 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(x = 1.0, y = 1.0, z = 2.5)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Move an imported model.
|
|
|
|
|
|
import "tests/inputs/cube.sldprt" as cube
|
|
|
|
// Circle so you actually see the move.
|
|

|
|> circle(center = [-10, -10], radius = 10)
|
|
|> extrude(length = 10)
