Model.projectmarktoplane

Model.projectmarktoplane(collection, plane_normal, plane_base, vector, toplane)

Projects a group of entities to a plane.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities to be projected.

• plane_normal (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the plane normal components. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

• plane_base (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the base point components of the plane to which the entities will be projected. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

• vector (hwTriple) – The vector along which the entities will be projected.

• toplane (int) – A flag indicating if the entities should be projected to the plane or to the normal of the plane (1 for plane, 0 for normal).

Example

Project the elements with IDs 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 to the plane with a normal of ( 1.0 , 0.0 , 0.0 ) based at the origin along the vector ( 1.0 , 1.0 , 1.0 )
