I'm looking to create a script to add end releases to a line body model I have imported with many verticies. The default end release is acceptable as a start point, and I will manually select those that need releases changed at a later point. I would like to have the end releases applied across the board automatically rather than add them manually later.  

I have started by creating a named selection for the vertices:

with Transaction(True):
    # Create an empty named selection for vertices
    named_selection_vertex = model.AddNamedSelection()
    named_selection_vertex.Name = "Vertices"

with Transaction(True):
    # Create an empty named selection for vertices
    named_selection_edge = model.AddNamedSelection()
    named_selection_edge.Name = "Edges"

And follow that up with trying to gather the verticies and edges into their named selections.

And this is where I stumble as I'm not sure how to call up the vertexes or edges. For bodies etc. i have used datamodelobjectcategory , but they do not exist there. Can i use IGeoVertex in some way? 

Thanks for your help,

Joe

Hi

 

See here how to obtain geometry:

Any questions post in that forum as it is dedicated for that (scripting).

All the best
