Model.display_thickness

Model.display_thickness(collection, thickness, update)

Sets or reviews the thickness assigned to a midsurface.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the surface entities to set or review.

• thickness (double) – The thickness to assign to the surfaces on the mark. A negative or zero value sets the thickness to 0. This is ignored, if update=0.

• update (int) –

  0 - Display the thickness of the selected surfaces in the graphics area.

  1 - Update the thickness of the selected surfaces.

Examples

Display the thicknesses of surfaces with IDs 1 , 5 , 6 , 7 , and 10

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.display_thickness(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [1, 5, 6, 7, 10]),
    thickness=0.0,
    update=0,
)

Assign surfaces with IDs 1 , 5 , 6 , 7 , and 10 a thickness of 5.0

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.display_thickness(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [1, 5, 6, 7, 10]),
    thickness=5.0,
    update=1,
)

Remove the thickness attribute from surfaces with IDs 1 , 5 , 6 , 7 , and 10 ( e.g. set thickness to zero )

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.display_thickness(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [1, 5, 6, 7, 10]),
    thickness=-1.0,
    update=1,
)
