PLANE_OFFSET_BOUNDS

papawo

can somebody explain why I am getting this error?

lana

You can replicate the loop  for (var selection in definition.selFace )within the body of the function. Then selection.myLength will be length value as you need it, 
or you can do 

if (size(<span>definition.selFace) > 0)<br>{<br>...&nbsp;</span>definition.selFace[0].myLength ..<span><br>}</span>

If you are only interested in the first element.

Whatever you're passing in as 'offset' is not a length between 0 and 500 meters:



It may also be that what you're passing in is not a length, or that you're not passing in an 'offset' at all.  Screenshotting more of the call stack, or the line that the error is complaining on may be more useful for debugging.

This probably comes from a call  to cPlane either without specifying offset, or giving it a value, which is not a length.
You can try using something like  "offset" : 0.01 * meter

papawo

  cPlane(context, id + i + "cPlane1", {

                        "entities" : qUnion([ planeOffset]),

                        "cplaneType" : CPlaneType.OFFSET,

                         "offset" : definition.myLength, //----------sorry my mistake , definition.myLength doesnt exist
                         "offset" : selection.myLength //<<<<<it should be this. but it doesnt work . selection.myLength is inside an array in the precondition
                 });

if I use-----> "offset" : 0.01 * meter , it does work, but I need to get the length from the precondition 

Jake_Rosenfeld

Could you post the part of your precondition where selection is defined?

lana

please try putting

println("myLength" ~ selection.myLength);

before this call.
May be it should be

definition.<arrayParameterName>.[0].selection.myLength&nbsp;

 ? Not sure what you meant by  "selection.myLength is inside an array in the precondition"

papawo

it says variable selection not found

Probably needs to be accessed via definition

papawo

 if (definition.faceToMove)

        {

            annotation { "Name" : "Select Face  ",

                        "Item name" : "Face",

                        "Driven query" : "entities",

                        "Item label template" : "#entities - ( #myLength )" }

            definition.selFace  is array;

            for (var selection in definition.selFace )

            {

                annotation { "Name" : "Select Face To Offset",

                            "Filter" : ModifiableEntityOnly.YES && ((EntityType.FACE && ConstructionObject.NO) || (EntityType.BODY && BodyType.SOLID)),

                            "UIHint" : "ALWAYS_HIDDEN" }

                selection.entities is Query;

 

                annotation { "Name" : "Offset Length" } 

                isLength( selection.myLength, PLANE_OFFSET_BOUNDS);    //how to access this?

               

            }

        }
