apply color combinations and export picture

Andy_rapid-ood — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 10:56:55 GMT

Hello,

I am sure that I found something similar in the past here, but I cannot find it anymore.

What I want to do is apply all possible color combinations from one appearance folder to a two body model and export each and every variant.

Assuming that I have an appearance folder with 5 colors, I'd like to have 5x5=25 pictures of the two body model with all related color combinations.

I am hoping that someone has some script fragments that can be utilized for my purpose

regards,

Andy

Hi @Andy_rapid-ood .

We have created a sample that creates images of duplicate combinations of five randomly selected appearances.

With two bodies created in the root component, run the following script

# Fusion360API Python script import traceback import adsk.fusion import adsk.core import random import itertools import pathlib EXPORT_DIR = pathlib.Path(r'C:\temp') def run(context): ui = adsk.core.UserInterface.cast(None) try: app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get() ui = app.userInterface des: adsk.fusion.Design = app.activeProduct root: adsk.fusion.Component = des.rootComponent body1: adsk.fusion.BRepBody = root.bRepBodies[0] body2: adsk.fusion.BRepBody = root.bRepBodies[1] vp: adsk.core.Viewport = app.activeViewport appearances = getUniqueAppearances() appearances_combination = list(itertools.combinations_with_replacement(appearances, 2)) for idx, apps in enumerate(appearances_combination): body1.appearance = apps[0] body2.appearance = apps[1] path = EXPORT_DIR / f'{idx}' vp.saveAsImageFile(str(path), 0, 0) ui.messageBox('Done') except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc())) def getUniqueAppearances() -> list: try: app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get() appearances: adsk.core.Appearances = app.materialLibraries.itemById( 'BA5EE55E-9982-449B-9D66-9F036540E140').appearances appearanceLst = [a for a in appearances] return random.sample(appearanceLst, 5) except: return []

I could not find a way to get the appearance folders in the API.

What is an "appearance folder"?
