Repeat the function's action for each selection of the UI

ben_partouch

I have a simple function to split face using a text. I want to be able to select multiple faces and have the function executed for all of them.

How do I go about it?

Thank you

    // Define the function's action


    var center = evPlane(context, {
            "face" : definition.faceToSplit
        });


    debug(context, center, DebugColor.RED);



    var sketch2 = newSketchOnPlane(context, id + "sketch2", {
            "sketchPlane" : center
        });


    var text = skText(sketch2, "text1", {
            "text" : definition.text,
            "fontName" : "Poppins-Regular.ttf",
            "firstCorner" : vector(0, 0) * inch,
            "secondCorner" : vector((1 * inch), definition.fontSize)
        });

    skSolve(sketch2);

    var textEdges = qSketchRegion(id + "sketch2");
    var loop = qLoopEdges(textEdges);

    debug(context, loop, DebugColor.GREEN);



    opSplitFace(context, id + "splitFace1", {
                "faceTargets" : definition.faceToSplit,
                "edgeTools" : loop

            });



    opDeleteBodies(context, id + "deleteBodies2", {
                "entities" : qCreatedBy(id + "sketch2", EntityType.EDGE)
            });

I'd recommend looking into using a for loop here - though you may run into challenges for any non-planar face as your code requires a planar face to create a plane which you then sketch on. I'd imagine that WHERE you want to split each face is a fairly specific location and that simply solving for 'a plane' on that face does not get you the resolution you're looking for. I'd recommend something similar to what follows:

1. Create a Mate connector somewhere (the origin? why not. Doing so makes things easy).
2. Figure out how many faces you have
3. For each face:
   1. create a mate connector on the face at the location you'd like to move the sketch edges to
   2. (copy?) transform the of the reference sketch to the new location defined by the mate connector.
   3. split the face as you've done.

try putting the above in a 'forEachEntity'
