usage

1. Get active TD application

if the TD application is not running, it will be created.

from PyThinkDesign import Application
app = Application.GetActiveApplication()

2. Create a TD application

from PyThinkDesign import Application
app = Application.Application();

# Set up interactive and visibility mode if necessary.
app.PutVisible(True);
app.PutInteractive(True);
app.Quit();

3. Create lines and arcs in a document

from PyThinkDesign import Application
from PyThinkDesign import Geo3d

app = Application.Application();
doc=app.GetActiveDocument();

# get creators
curveCreator=doc.GetCurveCreator();

# add lines
p1 = Geo3d.Point(0,0,0)
p2 = Geo3d.Point(1,0,0)
p3 = Geo3d.Point(1,1,0)
p4 = Geo3d.Point(0,1,0)
curveCreator.AddLine(p1,p2)
curveCreator.AddLine(p2,p3)
curveCreator.AddLine(p3,p4)
curveCreator.AddLine(p4,p1)

# add arc
pCenter = Geo3d.Point(10,0,0)
pXDir = Geo3d.Vector(1,0,0)
pYDir = Geo3d.Vector(0,1,0) 
radius = 10
startAng = 0
endAng = 60
curveCreator.AddArc(pCenter, pXDir, pYDir, radius, startAng, endAng)

# save if necessary.
#doc.SaveAs("d:\\tdApp.e3")
app.Quit();

4. List entities information in a document

from PyThinkDesign import Application
from PyThinkDesign import Geo3d

app = Application.Application();
doc=app.GetActiveDocument();

# get creators
curveCreator=doc.GetCurveCreator();

# add lines
p1 = Geo3d.Point(0,0,0)
p2 = Geo3d.Point(1,0,0)
p3 = Geo3d.Point(1,1,0)
curveCreator.AddLine(p1,p2)
curveCreator.AddLine(p2,p3)

# add arc
pCenter = Geo3d.Point(10,0,0)
pXDir = Geo3d.Vector(1,0,0)
pYDir = Geo3d.Vector(0,1,0) 
radius = 10
startAng = 0
endAng = 60
curveCreator.AddArc(pCenter, pXDir, pYDir, radius, startAng, endAng)

# get entities information
jsonStr=doc.ListInfo()
print(jsonStr)
app.Quit();

5. how to use AddProfile?

from PyThinkDesign import Application
from PyThinkDesign import Geo3d
import time
app = Application.GetActiveApplication()
doc=app.GetActiveDocument()

# get creators
curveCreator=doc.GetCurveCreator()
profileCreator = doc.GetProfileCreator()
solidCreator = doc.GetSolidCreator()
    
# add lines
p1 = Geo3d.Point(10,0,0)
p2 = Geo3d.Point(50,0,0)
p3 = Geo3d.Point(50,30,0)
p4 = Geo3d.Point(30,30,0)
line1 = curveCreator.AddLine(p1,p2)
line2 = curveCreator.AddLine(p2,p3)
line3 = curveCreator.AddLine(p3,p4)
line4 = curveCreator.AddLine(p4,p1)

lines = [line1.ToSmartId(),line2.ToSmartId(),line3.ToSmartId(),line4.ToSmartId()]
spProfile =profileCreator.AddProfile(lines, False)

# sweep
angle = Geo3d.Angle(5)
swlen = Geo3d.Length(100)
thick = Geo3d.Length(10)
vt = Geo3d.Vector(0, 0, 1)
profSId = spProfile.ToSmartId()
spSweep = solidCreator.AddLinSweep(profSId, angle, swlen,False,False,False, thick, vt)
