Model.hm_findadvancedselectiongroups

Model.hm_findadvancedselectiongroups(collection, method='by attached', angle=DBL_MAX)

Finds advanced selection entities and separates them into selection method specific groups.

Parameters:

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

• method (hwString) –

  The advanced selection method. Valid values are “by attached”, “by face” and “by face across t junctions”

  This value can be omitted, in which case “by attached” is used.

• angle (double) – The feature angle value used for faces detection. The value can be omitted, in which case the default feature angle value is used.

Returns:

• hwReturnStatus - Status object

• HmQueryResultList - Result list object containing HmQueryResult objects with the following output data:

  • surfaces (EntityList) - Entity Type: Surface

Example

Find all groups of connected surfaces

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

_ , resultlist = model.hm_findadvancedselectiongroups(collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface))

for result in resultlist:
    print("surfaces", result.surfaces)
