Model.surfacemarksplitwithline#

Model.surfacemarksplitwithline(collection, line_entity, vector, trim_flag, distance)#

Splits a collection of surfaces with a line swept along a vector.

Parameters:

  • collection (Collection) – The collection containing the surface entities to split.

  • line_entity (Entity) – The line entity used for splitting.

  • vector (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the vector components to use for split direction. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

  • trim_flag (int) –

    0 - The line is swept using the distance value.

    1 - The line is swept through the entire surface.

  • distance (double) – The distance to sweep, if trim_flag=0.

Example#

Split surfaces with IDs 10 and 20 by sweeping line with ID 11 along the z - axis#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.surfacemarksplitwithline(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [10, 20]),
    line_entity=ent.Line(model, 11),
    vector=[0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
    trim_flag=1,
    distance=0.0,
)
