Model.positionentity#

Model.positionentity(entity, source_coords=hwTripleList(), target_coords=hwTripleList(), source_nodes=s_defaultEntityList, target_nodes=s_defaultEntityList)#

Positions selected entities in space. You can specify one point either by providing lists of coordinates or a list of node entities.

Parameters:

  • entity (Entity) – The object describing the entity to modify.

  • source_coords (hwTripleList) – The list of lists of x, y, z coordinates for source points.

  • target_coords (hwTripleList) – The list of lists of x, y, z coordinates for target points.

  • source_nodes (EntityList) – The list of source node entities.

  • target_nodes (EntityList) – The list of target node entities.
