GeometryGroup

A group of geometry.

Example

application = cf.Application.GetInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Add some geometry

cuboid = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboid(cf.Point(0, 0, 0), 1, 1, 1)
flare = project.Contents.Geometry:AddFlare(cf.Point(0.5, 0.5, 1), 1, -1, 0.5, 0, 1)

-- Add the geometry to the group

group = project.Contents.Geometry:CreateGroup()
group:MoveIn({cuboid, flare})

    -- Apply a transform to the group

from = cf.Point(0, 0, 0)
to = cf.Point(1, 1, 1)
translate = group.Transforms:AddTranslate(from, to)

Inheritance

The GeometryGroup object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The GeometryGroup object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

BoundingBox
A box indicating the bounding box of this entity. (Read only Box). (Read only Box)
Count
The number of Geometry items in the collection. (Read only number)
Included
A boolean value defining if an entity is excluded or included. (Read/Write boolean)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
LocalWorkplane
The source workplane. (Read/Write LocalWorkplane)
Locked
A boolean that indicates whether the entity or it's ancestor is locked or not. (Read/Write boolean)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

Collection List

Transforms
The collection of transforms on the operator. (TransformCollection of Transform.)

Method List

CopyAndMirror (properties table)
Apply a copy and mirror using a table defining the properties. (Returns a Object object.)
CopyAndRotate (properties table, count number)
Apply a copy and rotate using a table defining the properties. (Returns a List of Object object.)
CopyAndRotate (origin Point, rotationaxis Vector, angle number, count number)
Copy and rotate the geometry. (Returns a List of Object object.)
CopyAndTranslate (properties table, count number)
Apply a copy and translate using a table defining the properties. (Returns a List of Object object.)
CopyAndTranslate (from Point, to Point, count number)
Copy and translate the geometry. (Returns a List of Object object.)
Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
Disassemble ()
Disassembles the group.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
Item (index number)
Returns the Geometry for the given index in the collection. (Returns a Geometry object.)
Item (label string)
Returns the Geometry for the given label in the collection. (Returns a Geometry object.)
Items ()
Returns a table of Geometry items. (Returns a UnsupportedType(List of Geometry) object.)
MoveOut (geometry List of Object)
Moves the specified geometry parts out of this geometry group.
SetProperties (properties Object)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties ()
Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
