Model.positionentity_bycollection

Model.positionentity_bycollection(collection, source_coords=hwTripleList(), target_coords=hwTripleList(), source_nodes=s_defaultEntityList, target_nodes=s_defaultEntityList)

Positions selected entities in space. You can specify a collection of special points either by providing lists of coordinates or a list of node entities.

Parameters:

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

Examples

Position the components with IDs 41 , 42 use source and target coordinates ( case 1 )

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.positionentity(
    collection=hm.Collection(model,ent.Component,[41, 42]),
    source_coords=[
        [1268.2080057472, 1390.3206502704, 261.94218701528],
