Using ACT, how can I create a Worksheet named selection and add the faces included in a previously defined named selection ?

Let's assume a first face named selection exists in the tree, named "FirstNS".

• A second named selection can be inserted in the tree with:

    Model=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model
    SecondNS=Model.AddNamedSelection()
  

• The name of the new named selection can be changed through:

    SecondNS.Name="SecondNS through WS selection"
  

• The scoping method can be changed from Geometry Selection to Worksheet:

    SecondNS_WS=ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.WorksheetSpecific)
    SecondNS.Location=SecondNS_WS
  

• The criteria to create the new named selection can be changed using:

    SecondNS.Location.AddRow() #Add new row
    SecondNS.Location.SetAction(0,NamedSelectionWorksheetAction.Add) # Set "Action" to "Add"
    SecondNS.Location.SetEntityType(0,NamedSelectionWorksheetEntityType.Face) # Set "Entity type" to "Face"
    SecondNS.Location.SetCriterion(0,NamedSelectionWorksheetCriterion.NamedSelection) # Set "Criterion" to "Named Selection"
    SecondNS.Location.SetOperator(0,NamedSelectionWorksheetOperator.Equal) # Set "Operator" to "Equal"
  

• The "Value" can be set to "FirstNS" with the following code:

    for NS in Model.NamedSelections.Children:
        if NS.Name == "FirstNS":
            SaveNS = NS
    SecondNS.Location.SetValue(0,SaveNS.Id)
  

• The new named selection can be generated with:

    SecondNS.Location.Generate()

For WB version 2020R2 and above:

Model = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model
second_ns = Model.AddNamedSelection()

second_ns.Name = "Second NamedSelection through WS selection"

second_ns.ScopingMethod = GeometryDefineByType.Worksheet
Criteria = second_ns.GenerationCriteria 
Criteria.Add(None)

Criteria[0].EntityType = SelectionType.GeoFace
Criteria[0].Criterion = SelectionCriterionType.NamedSelection
Criteria[0].Operator = SelectionOperatorType.Equal
Criteria[0].Value = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("first_ns")[0]

second_ns .Generate()
ExtAPI.DataModel.Tree.Refresh()
