How can I assign a material to multiple bodies in Spaceclaim?

The material can be in the Local Materials or in the Library

Gabriel Messager

material_name = "Gray Cast Iron"
succ_local, local_mat = Window.ActiveWindow.Document.Materials.TryGetValue(material_name)
if not succ_local:
    succ, mat = LibraryMaterial.Library.TryGetValue(material_name)
    local_mat = DocumentMaterial.Copy(Window.ActiveWindow.Document, mat)
for body in GetRootPart().GetAllBodies():
    body2.Material = local_mat

@Gabriel Messager , the LibraryMaterial and DocumentMaterial libraries are available if accessed using SC release's API. For example, for V20:

material_name = "Gray Cast Iron"

succ_local, local_mat = Window.ActiveWindow.Document.Materials.TryGetValue(material_name)

if not succ_local:

    succ, mat = SpaceClaim.Api.V20.LibraryMaterial.Library.TryGetValue(material_name)

    local_mat = SpaceClaim.Api.V20.DocumentMaterial.Copy(Window.ActiveWindow.Document, mat)

for body in GetRootPart().GetAllBodies():

    body.Material = local_mat

Thank you Nikos - that works perfect for v22 and v23 also - as you pointed out, one just needs to change as needed the version say from V20 to V22 etc.

SpaceClaim.Api.V22.LibraryMaterial.Library.TryGetValue
SpaceClaim.Api.V22.DocumentMaterial.Copy
