GeometryType.SURFACE error
Guest_Zephalto

Hello,
I was trying to implement a function to select a gore created by a loft, and i wanted the user to select the different gores to add an offset surface. But when I add the GeometryType.OTHER_SURFACE, I have this error.
I heard about using qGeometry but I don't know how to use it and when.
If someone can help me, thank you.

You can make a query for the lofted walls:
const qLoftedWalls = qGeometry(qOwnedByBody(definition.selectedBody, EntityType.FACE), GeometryType.OTHER_SURFACE);But this is not in the precondition of the feature… in my example the definition.selectedBody was just the query for a EntityType.BODY, but it could already be a query in your code.
