Hello, Does anyone know if there is a way to access the Selection Information Window Math using ACT?

I am looking for a way to extract the Centroid of multiple faces or the radius of an edge. Neither of these quantities is available through traversing the geometry but I did notice they are easily calculated by the selection information pane.

Thank you for your time

The API for the pane is undocumented (it is another API) really so you can not find info (I can not either).
(It has to be done via old Jscript which I can not help with)

You can though instead like you tried by traversing the geometry and getting say the centroid of the faces of a body (sample code below):

treeBodies = Model.Geometry.Children[0].Children
for treeBody in treeBodies:
geoBody = treeBody.GetGeoBody faces=geoBody.Faces
for face in faces:
cen=face.Centroid
ExtAPI.Log.WriteMessage('Body :' + str(treeBody.Name) +'; X : ' + str(cen[0]))


You can try and use this to do what you need.

Best of luck and take care
