Model.midsurface_remove_plate_base_conflicts

Model.midsurface_remove_plate_base_conflicts(reserved1, reserved2)

Removes conflicts between base surface information and planar or sweep plate information on all surfaces by changing the type of all relevant planar and sweep plates into offset plates.

If a surface is marked both as a base surface and as part of a planar or sweep plate, there is a conflict about how to create the corresponding midsurface. On one hand, it is marked to be base surface, which means the corresponding midsurface should be created by offset with a user-specified distance. On the other hand, it is marked as part of a planar or sweep plate, which means the corresponding midsurface should be inserted in the middle of the plate in a form of a piece of plane or sweep surface. These often contradict each other as only offset plates can contain base surfaces.

Parameters:

• reserved1 (int) – Reserved for future use. Must be set to 0.

• reserved2 (int) – Reserved for future use. Must be set to 0.

Example

Turn all planar and sweep plates that contain base surfaces into offset plates

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()
