Reply To: Spaceclaim API – Select faces at given coordinates

Thank you for your answer!

 

However, I am working on more complex structures than the one I described above. I managed to work on the normal vectors of each face, here I attach the code I developed (it may require adjustments, but for now it's doing its job)

 

numFaces = len(GetRootPart().Bodies[0].Faces) # get number of total faces

selectedFaces = [] # initialise vector to include required faces

for i in range(0, numFaces - 1): # select faces knowing their normal vector

    if str((GetRootPart().Bodies[0].Faces[i].GetFaceNormal(0,0)))  == 'Direction: (0, 0, -1)': # choose normal vector. Still don't know how GetFaceNormal(0,0) is affecting the code

            selectedFaces.append(GetRootPart().Bodies[0].Faces[i]) # append face

print(selectedFaces)

# Define Named Selection

primarySelection = FaceSelection.Create(selectedFaces)

secondarySelection = Selection.Empty()

result = NamedSelection.Create(primarySelection, secondarySelection)

# Rename Named Selection

result = NamedSelection.Rename("Group1", "myNamedSelection")
