Query for specific SheetMetalDefinitionEntityType

MBartlett21

I would like to filter my edges (from qEverything) to be of a certain SheetMetalDefinitionEntityType, so i can pass them into sheetMetalCornerBreak without it erroring out.
Is there any way to do this?

We don't have a query filter for this. I'd go a different rout. 

1. getSMDefinitionEntities(context, qEverything(EntityType.BODY), EntityType.BODY) would give you all the definition bodies.

2. Collect their vertices

3.  getSMCorrespondingInPart(context, qUnion(vertices), EntityType.EDGE)

These edges can be sent to sheetMetalCornerBreak() 

You still will be getting warnings for vertices next to bend edges, so it might be a good idea to filter out those in step 2.

Additionally, we have an internal ticket for exposing some kind of qSheetMetalDefinitionEntityType, but it would be helpful if you raised an Improvement Request.

Maybe this example can help you

            annotation { "Name" : "Entities to fillet",
                        "Filter" : ((ActiveSheetMetal.NO && ((EntityType.EDGE && EdgeTopology.TWO_SIDED) || EntityType.FACE))
                                    || (EntityType.EDGE && SheetMetalDefinitionEntityType.VERTEX))
                            && ConstructionObject.NO && SketchObject.NO && ModifiableEntityOnly.YES,
                        "AdditionalBoxSelectFilter" : EntityType.EDGE }
            definition.entities is Query;
