Model.surfacemarksplitwithplane

Model.surfacemarksplitwithplane(collection, plane_normal, plane_base)

Splits a group of surfaces with an infinite plane.

Parameters:

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

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

Example

Split surfaces with IDS 10 and 20 with the xy plane ( normal equals the z - axis )

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.surfacemarksplitwithplane(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [10, 20]),
    plane_normal=[0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
    plane_base=[0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
)
