Hello,
I have been attempting to add end releases to an imported line body model. The model has shared topology from the discovery export.
There are 8 edges, 9 vertices in my model. The code I have is producing 8 end releases, however, an end release can only be scoped to a vertex which connects to more than 1 beam, as such in my model I should only have 6 end releases.
printing vertex_beam_count produces:
{247: 2, 248: 1, 251: 2, 252: 2, 253: 2, 254: 2, 257: 1, 258: 3, 259: 1}
So that's behaving correctly, showing 6 vertices with more than one beam attached.
Where am I going wrong with the logic, am I approaching it all wrong?
Any help appreciated - thanks!
