Model.createsketchfrombeamsection

Model.createsketchfrombeamsection(beamsections, assignsketch=True, computeproperties=False, offset=hwDoubleList())

Creates a sketch from shell or solid beamsections.

Parameters:

• beamsections (Collection) – The collection containing the input beamsections entities.

• assignsketch (bool) –

  After sketch creation, assign the sketch to the beamsection.

  False - Do not assign

  True - Assign (default)

• computeproperties (bool) –

  If assignsketch=1, use the sketch to recompute new beamsection properties.

  False - Do not compute (default)

  True - Compute

• offset (hwDoubleList) – Offset in local beamsection system to add to the sketch.

Example

Create a sketch from a beamsection

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

beamsects = hm.Collection(model, ent.Beamsection, list(range(1, 11)))
model.createsketchfrombeamsection(beamsections=beamsects)

Create an offset sketch and recompute properties

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

beamsects = hm.Collection(model, ent.Beamsection, populate=True)
model.createsketchfrombeamsection(beamsections=beamsects, computeproperties=Tue, offset=[1.0, 2.0])
