SpaceClaim Scripting with Facets

NickFL

Hello everyone,

Background: I am working in SpaceClaim using API V23. I am staying on this version for now until I get the final report for my project finished before moving on to Discovery and R25 sometime in March/April.

I am trying to fill some small holes in my faceted body that were created when I cut it with a plane in my script. I can record the operation and it is executed correctly. If I simply excute this recorded code:

# Facettierte Körperöffnungen füllen
options = FacetFixHolesOptions()
options.FillType = FillType.Cap
options.FillRelationship = FillRelationship.Separately
result = FacetFixHoles.FindAndFix(options)
# EndBlock
 

The output (error) is given as:
Der Wert darf nicht NULL sein. Parametername: source

Sorry it is in German, but basically means the value may not be zero. Does anyone have an ideas?

Hello @NickFL,
I can't reproduce your problem, your script is working well in my simple model.
Actually, I can get a similar error when I use FacetFixHoles.FixSpecific(selection, options)
Can you please share a model for me to reproduce the issue?

Hello! Thanks for your post, Someone from the @AKD-Scripting-Team might be able to help. In the mean time, which function has the parameter source? It doesn't seem clear from the context you provided.

Thank you for your time gentlemen. In trying to recreate the problem on a smaller model I came across the options.Cap = True under the FaceSplit. I am not sure why I did not see or try it before, but it seems to work for the couple of cases I tried it on. I will continue to use it to see if it is robust enough for my needs.
