Best way to query threaded faces (tapped Hole and External Thread)

EvanReese

I'm working on a feature that needs to find faces with hole attributes or external thread attributes. Can this be done with qHasAttribute()? I'm not sure where to find the "name" to filter for.

I think holes were made before named attributes were a thing, so they are found based on the value pattern.
You have to take a query of seed faces and check which faces have the attribute pattern:

    var seedFaces = qEverything(EntityType.FACE);


    for (var f in evaluateQuery(context, seedFaces))
    {
        var attributes = getAttributes(context, {
                "entities" : f,
                "attributePattern" : {} as HoleAttribute }
        );
        if(size(attributes) > 0)
        {
            println(attributes);   
        }
    }

Aw man, that's what I was starting to do, but it felt wrong somehow. Thanks, Caden!

You could start with a smaller seed query by taking all the faces and putting it through qHoleFaces
