Model.sort_midsurfaces

Model.sort_midsurfaces(mode)

Sorts mid-surfaces from the “Middle Surface” component into other components.

All of the middle surfaces from the “Middle Surface” component are organized into new/existing components, based on the components from which each middle surface was created.

When creating new components for sorting, the new components are created a duplicates of the originals, and organized into the same parts, assemblies and includes as the originals.

Parameters:

mode (int) –

0 - Create new components named Midsurface #nn, where #nn is an incremental number. The components are created based on the original components from which the middle surfaces were derived.

1 - Organize the middle surfaces into the original components from which they were derived.

2 - Create new components, replacing the first letter of the original component names with the prefix ~.

3 - Create new components, appending a suffix of ~ to the original component names.

4 - Create new components, incrementing the original component names.

Example

Sort middle surfaces into original components

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()
