Model.detach_entities

Model.detach_entities(detachCollection, fromCollection=Collection(), offset=0.0)

Detaches entities like constraints as a unit from selected elements or nodes, using the specified offset value.

Parameters:

• detachCollection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities like constraints to be detached.

• fromCollection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities from which the entities like constraints will be detached.

• offset (double) – The offset value of the newly detached nodes.

Example

Detach constraint named “constraint1” and “constraint2” from nodes

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

constraint_col = hm.Collection(
    model,
    ent.Constraint,
    "names=constraint1,constraint2"
)

model.detach_entities(
    detachCollection=constraint_col,
    fromCollection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Node, False),
    offset=0.1
)
