translate

Move a solid.

translate(
  solidSet: SolidOrImportedGeometry,
  translate: [number],
  global?: bool,
): SolidOrImportedGeometry

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
`solidSet`	`SolidOrImportedGeometry`	The solid or set of solids 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

SolidOrImportedGeometry - Data for a solid or an imported geometry.

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])

Rendered example of translate 1

// Sweep two sketches along the same path.
