Hello,

i try to create an ACT wizard extension for spaceclaim. I already wrote a code that creates a geometry in spaceclaim and it works fine when i start it directly in the scripting extension of spaceclaim.

For the ACT version i have an issue with the creation of a planar body. The following part of the code creates an error:

import clr
import units
import time

clr.AddReference("SpaceClaim.Api.V23")

from SpaceClaim.Api.V23.Geometry import *
from SpaceClaim.Api.V23.Modeler import *

...

#polGen is a List[ITrimmedCurve] of curvesegments
refPlane=Plane.PlaneZX
face1 = PlanarBody.Create(refPlane, polGen)
body1= face1.CreatedBody

...

The row, where PlanarBody.Create is executed, creates the following error in the ACT Log console:

TypeError: expected Plane, got Plane

I can't find a solution to this problem, does anybody know how to solve this?

Hi

This should help (change v19 to v23 in the below script).

Should you have any more questions post it in that forum (dedicated to scripting)
