Example

Create a bolt (general) connector from 2 attachments

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.CE_BoltAutoCreateFromAttachments(
    collection=hm.Collection(
        model, ent.Attachment, "Name=attach_200_229 OR Name=attach_36_51"
    ),
    tolerance=25.0,
    ce_config_name="bolt (general)",
)
