Creating plan in Feature Script

louis_rouquette622

Hello,

I'm a beginner in the utilisation of feature script, and I was trying to create a plane.

But there is an error in my code but i don't understand where.

My code is mainly inspired by hexInfill, because my final objective is quite similar.

I can't visualize the HexPlane using the debug function.

Thanks a lot to everyone who is helping me

My code :

annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Infill" }
export const hexinfill = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
    precondition
    {       
        annotation { "Name" : "Body", "Filter" : EntityType.BODY, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }
        definition.body is Query;
       
        annotation { "Name" : "Side" }
        isLength(definition.side, LENGTH_BOUNDS);

    }
    {
        // On cherche les contours de l'objet
       
        var Limits is Box3d = evBox3d(context, { "topology" : definition.body });
        //var bbx1 = Limits.minCorner[0];
        //var bby1 = Limits.minCorner[1];
        var bbz1 = Limits.minCorner[2];
        //var bbx2 = Limits.maxCorner[0];
        //var bby2 = Limits.maxCorner[1];
        //var bbz2 = Limits.maxCorner[2];
       
       
        var Origin = vector([0, 0, bbz1])*meter;        
        var Normal = vector([0, 0, 1]);                
        var Xdir   = vector([1, 0, 0]);           

       
        var HexPlane is Plane = plane(Origin, Normal, Xdir);

        debug(context, HexPlane);

       
        var HexSketch = newSketch(context, id + "sketch1", {
                "sketchPlane" : HexPlane
        });
        skRectangle(HexSketch, "rectangle1", {
                "firstCorner" : vector(0, 0) * inch,
                "secondCorner" : vector(definition.side, definition.side) * inch
        });
        skSolve(HexSketch);    
    });

I believe your error is here:

        var Origin = vector([0, 0, bbz1])*meter;        
        var Normal = vector([0, 0, 1]);                
        var Xdir   = vector([1, 0, 0]);   

There should be no square brackets - they indicate an array, not the values of a vector.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reactivity.

I have modify it, but nothing have changed, I still can't see the plan using the debug function.

Moreover this part of the script was copied from the hexinfill featurescript, and it seems to work quite well.

If someone have an other idea.

"Limits" already has units of meter, so Origin turns it into meter^2

Change to:

var Origin = vector(0 * meter, 0 * meter, bbz1);

In the top right corner of your screen there is a button that looks like "{✓}".  If you click on that, the FeatureScript console will appear at the bottom of your screen.  This will show you where the the code is failing.  You can also use the "println" function in FeatureScript to print to this console, which makes debugging easier.

Thanks a lot, it was that.
