# Public Methods

AddControlPoint | Adds a control point to the scan
CreateBasicScan | Used for DCC and Manual Scans to cause creation of basic scan object This method has to be called after calling other Properties/Methods. This method creates the necessary BasicScans needed by DCC and Manual scans and inserts them into the Part Program.
GenerateScan | Generates the points for the scan
GetBoundaryConditionParams | Gets the boundary condition parameters
GetBoundaryPoint | Returns the boundary point specified by the index
GetControlPoint | Returns the control point specified by the index
GetFilterParams | Gets parameters used in filtering of scan data
GetHitParams | Gets parameters for the hit type used in the scan
GetHitTValue | Returns T deviation values for specified scansion hit
GetMethodParams | Gets the scan method parameters
GetMethodPointData | Gets scan points and vectors via pointdata objects This method is provided as a shortcut to getting these commonly used properties all at once.
GetNomsParams | Gets the parameters used in finding of scan nominals
GetParams | Gets the basic scanning parameters of the scan This method is provided as a shortcut to getting these commonly used properties all at once.
RemoveControlPoint | Removes the control point at the specified index
SetBoundaryConditionParams | Sets the boundary condition parameters
SetBoundaryPoint | Sets the boundary point specified by the index paramter
SetControlPoint | Sets the control point at the specified index
SetFilterParams | Sets parameters for filtering scan data
SetHitParams | Sets parameters for the hit type used in the scan
SetMethodParams | Sets the scan method parameters
SetMethodPointData | Sets scan points and vectors via pointdata objects This method is provided as a shortcut to setting these commonly used properties all at once.
SetNomsParams | Sets the parameters used in finding of scan nominals Boolean value. Boolean returns true if the function succeeds, false if it fails.
SetParams | Sets the basic scanning parameters of the scan This method is provided as a shortcut to setting these commonly used properties all at once.

# Public Properties

AutoClearPlane | Read/Write: Boolean value indicating if auto clear planes should be used
BoundaryCondition | Read/Write: Boundary Condition (Sphere, Plane Cross, Cone, etc. Represents the boundary condition type.
BoundaryConditionAxisV | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the boundary scan's axis vector This property represents the boundary condition axis vector. This vector is used as the axis of the Cylindrical and Conical BoundaryConditions.
BoundaryConditionCenter | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object a boundary scan's center point This property represents the boundary condition center.
BoundaryConditionEndApproach | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the end approach for a boundary scan This property represents the boundary condition end approach vector.
BoundaryConditionPlaneV | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the boundary scan's plane vector This property represents the boundary condition plane vector. This vector is the normal vector of the plane used by the Plane and OldStyle Boundary Conditions.
BoundaryPointCount | Read/Write: Long value indicating the number of boundary points for patch scans
DisplayHits | Read/Write: Boolean value indicating whether hits should be displayed or not
Filter | Read/Write: Distance Filter Type This property represents the filter type. Read/write of enumeration BSF_ENUM.
HitType | Read/Write: Scan Hit Type (Vector, Surface, Edge) Represents the type of hit to use.
Method | Read/Write: Scan Type This property represents the method type for this scan.
MethodCutPlane | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the cut plane vector This property represents the method’s cut plane vector.
MethodEnd | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the ending scan point This property represents the scan’s end point.
MethodEndTouch | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the end touch vector This property represents the method’s end touch vector.
MethodInitDir | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the initial scan direction vector This property represents the method’s initial direction vector.
MethodInitTopSurf | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the initial top surface vector This property represents the initial Surface Vector for the Edge method.
MethodInitTouch | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the initial touch vector This represents the method’s initial touch vector.
MethodStart | Read/Write: Returns/Sets via point data object the starting scan point This property represents the scan’s start point.
