create_cad_reference

VirtualGeometry.create_cad_reference(name='VirtualGeometry.1', id=None, path=None, size=None, cog=None, dimension=None, bounding_box_min=None, bounding_box_max=None)​

Creates a new CAD reference and links it with the virtual geometry.

  • Parameters:
    • name: Name of the object.
    • id: ID of the object.
    • path: Path of the linked CAD component. For instance “CADGeometry.1//top_surface”.
    • size: Size of the linked CAD component. Size can be the volume, area or length depending on the type of the linked CAD component.
    • cog: Center of gravity of the linked CAD component.
    • dimension: The shape type of the CAD component. Valid options: CADCompound, CADSolid, CADShell, and CADFace.
    • bounding_box_min: Minimum point of the bounding box.
    • bounding_box_max: Maximum point of the bounding box.
  • Return:
    • The new CAD reference object.
