 | Side Interface |
Represents a workpiece side or machining surface in the woodwork automation system.
A side defines a specific face of the workpiece with its own coordinate system, operations, and manufacturing characteristics.
Sides organize manufacturing operations by machining surface and enable multi-sided manufacturing strategies where different
operations are performed on different faces of the workpiece in coordinated sequences with optional name and number remapping
for flexible manufacturing workflow adaptation.

SyntaxThe Side type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | DirectionAngle | Gets the direction angle in radians defining the rotation of the side's reference line. This angle specifies the rotational orientation within the side's plane, determining the alignment of operations relative to the side's coordinate axes. |
| ExtendedData | Returns the SideExtendedData containing additional geometric information for inclined planes. Extended data includes corner points (P1, P2, P3, P4), elevation, angle, and shift vector necessary for precise inclined plane geometry and coordinate transformations. |
| InclinationAngle | Gets the inclination angle in radians from the orthogonal plane (where X-Y plane = 0 radians). This angle defines the rotational offset of the side from a standard horizontal orientation, enabling support for inclined or rotated machining surfaces. |
| InclinedPlane | Gets a value indicating whether the side represents an inclined (non-orthogonal) machining plane. Returns true if the side is inclined, or false if the side is a standard orthogonal plane. |
| Name | Gets the user-displayable name of the side. |
| Number | Gets the numeric identifier assigned to this side. |
| OperationsCount | Gets the total count of manufacturing operations defined for this side. |
| Origin | Returns the origin Point that serves as the anchor for the side's coordinate system. The origin defines the reference location from which all side positioning and measurements are calculated. |
| RemappedName | Gets or sets a user-defined remapped name for the side. The remapped name overrides the standard name for display and reporting purposes. |
| RemappedNumber | Gets or sets a user-defined remapped number for the side. The remapped number overrides the standard number for identification and sequencing purposes. |
| Xaxis | Returns the X-axis Vector indicating the primary horizontal direction of the side's coordinate system. |
| Yaxis | Returns the Y-axis Vector indicating the secondary horizontal direction of the side's coordinate system. |
| Zaxis | Returns the Z-axis Vector indicating the vertical direction of the side's coordinate system. |
