Model.markprojectnormallytoline

Model.markprojectnormallytoline(collection, projectlinelist, projectnodelist)

Projects entities to the line, using the normal to the line as the direction vector.

Parameters:

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

• projectlinelist (EntityList) – The list of line entities to which the entities are projected.

• projectnodelist (EntityList) – The list of nodes entities that are on the lines in the projectlinelist. The nodes are used to trim the line during projection.

Example

Project element entities to lines with ID 100 use the nodes of the projected line

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

Collection = hm.Collection(model,ent.Node)
Lines = [ent.Line(model,100)]
Filter = hm.FilterByCollection(ent.Node,ent.Line)
Line_col = hm.Collection(Lines)
Nodes = [n for n in hm.Collection(model,Filter,Line_col)]
model.markprojectnormallytoline(collection=Collection,projectlinelist=Lines,projectnodelist=Nodes)
