Reply To: SpaceClaim Script: Selection by FilterByBoundingBox

[Christian Scheffler]

 

 

Hi Aniket,

unfortunately the FilterByBoundingBox method is not working for me in V23. But I agree with you, the x, y, z order is correct for your example above.

public static Box Create(
	double minX,
	double minY,
	double minZ,
	double maxX,
	double maxY,
	double maxZ
)

Please find a MWE below.
Probelm: In my case this does not limit the total set to the subset of faces.

Best regards
Christian
