Model.nodecreateatvectorplaneintersection(vector, vector_base, plane_or_vector, plane_or_vector_base, vector_use, plane_use, point_flag)#

Creates node or point at location of intersection between two vectors or a vector and a plane.

Parameters:

vector (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the vector direction. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.
vector_base (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the base point components of the vector. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.
plane_or_vector (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the plane normal of the temporary plane if plane_use=0 or the direction of the vector if plane_use is 1, 2 or 3. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.
plane_or_vector_base (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the base point components of the plane if plane_use=0 or the base point of the vecor if plane_use is 1, 2 or 3. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.
vector_use (int) –
Parameter specifying whether input data specified by vector or vector_base parameters is interpreted as a plane of vector. Valid values are:

0, 1 - Input data specified by vector or vector_base parameters is used as undirected vector (straight line that passes through the base point specified by vector parameter in the direction of the normal specified by vector parameter).

2 - Input data specified by vector or vector_base parameters is used as directed vector (ray that starts at base point specified by vector parameter and continues in the direction of normal specified by vector parameter).

3 - Input data specified by vector or vector_base parameters is used as finite length vector (segment that starts at base point specified by vector parameter and ends at the end of normal vector specified by vector parameter).
plane_use (int) –
Parameter specifying whether input data specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters is interpreted as a plane of vector. Valid values are:

0 - Input data specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters is used as plane.

1 - Input data specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters is used as undirected vector (straight line that passes through the base point specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters in the direction of the normal specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters).

2 - Input data specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters is used as directed vector (ray that starts at base point specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters and continues in the direction of normal specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters).

3 - Input data specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters is used as finite length vector (segment that starts at base point specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters and ends at the end of normal vector specified by plane_or_vector or plane_or_vector_base parameters).
point_flag (int) –
Parameter specifying whether nodes or points are created. Valid values are:

0 - Create nodes

1 - Create points

Examples#

Create nodes at the intersections between straight line ( x=1.0 , y=2.0 ) and the plane z=2.0#

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.nodecreateatvectorplaneintersection(
    vector=[0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
    vector_base=[1.0, 2.0, 0.0],
    plane_or_vector=[0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
    plane_or_vector_base=[0.0, 0.0, 2.0],
    vector_use=0,
    plane_use=0,
    point_flag=0,
)

Create points at the intersection between ray that starts at point ( 1.0 , 2.0 , 4.0 ) and propagates in the direction of y axis and a ray that starts at point ( 1.0 , 4.0 , 0.0 ) and propagates in the direction of z axis#

    vector=[0.0, 1.0, 0.0],
