Our TUI Scripts show how to use Measurement Tools with TUI commands.
To use measurement tools:
In the main menu select Measures submenu.
Description: Returns the coordinates of a point.
Result: Point coordinates (X, Y, Z) in 3D space in the form of Python Tuple.
TUI command: geompy.PointCoordinates(Point), where Point is a point whose coordinates are inquired.
Arguments: 1 point.
Dialog Box:
Description: Return the properties (Length, Surface & Volume) of a definite geometrical object.
Result: Display Length, Surface & Volume in the form of Python Tuple.
TUI command: geompy.BasicProperties(Shape), where Shape is a shape whose properties are inquired.
Arguments: 1 shape.
Dialog Box:
Description: Creates a gravity center of a shape and returns its coordinates.
Result: GEOM_Object (vertex).
TUI Command: geompy.MakeCDG(Shape), where Shape is the shape for which a center of gravity is computed.
Arguments: 1 shape.
Dialog Box:
Description: Returns the inertia axis of a geometrical object.
Result: Display the matrix and moments of inretia in the form of Python Tuple (I11, I12, I13,
I21, I22, I23,
I31, I32, I33,
Ix, Iy, Iz).
TUI command: geompy.Inertia(Shape), where Shape is a shape for which a matrix of inertia and moment of inertia are returned.
Arguments: 1 shape.
Dialog Box:
Description: Returns the dimensions of the bounding box of a geometrical object.
Result: Displays the dimensions of the bounding box of a geometrical object in the form of Python Tuple (Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax, Zmin, Zmax).
TUI command: geompy.BoundingBox(Shape), where Shape is a shape for which a bounding box is computed.
Arguments: 1 shape.
Dialog Box:
Description: Returns the min. distance between 2 geometrical objects.
Result: Displays the min. distance.
TUI command: geompy.MinDistance(Shape1, Shape2), where Shape1 and Shape2 are shapes between which the minimal distance computed.
Arguments: 2 shapes.
Dialog Box:
Description: Returns the tolerance of a geometrical object.
Result: Displays the tolerance values (FaceMinTol, FaceMaxTol, EgdeMinTol, EgdeMaxTol, VertexMinTol, VertexMaxTol).
TUI command: geompy.Tolerance(Shape), where Shape is a shape for which minimal and maximal tolerances are returned.
Arguments: 1 shape.
Dialog Box:
Description: Returns the type of a geometrical object.
Result: Displays all elements composing your geometrical object.
TUI command: geompy.WhatIs(Shape), where Shape is a shape from which a description is returned.
Arguments: 1 shape.
Dialog Box:
Description: Returns True if this geometrical object is valid.
Result: Boolean.
TUI Command: geompy.CheckShape(Shape), where is shape which is checked for validity.
Arguments: 1 shape.
Dialog Box:
Description: Checks whether a shape is a compound of glued blocks. To be considered as a compound of blocks, the given shape must satisfy the following conditions:
Each element of the compound should be a Block (6 faces and 12 edges);
A connection between two Blocks should be an entire quadrangle face or an entire edge;
The compound should be connected;
Two quadrangle faces should be glued.
Informs of the following possible errors:
not a block,
not glued,
not connected,
extra or degenerated edge.
Result: Boolean; highlight in the viewer.
TUI Command: geompy.CheckCompoundOfBlocks(Compound), where the Compound is a shape, investigated in order to see, if it is a valid compound of blocks. Validity flag is returned, encountered errors are printed in the python console.
Arguments: 1 shape.
