Grounding component/occurrence

How do you ground a component with the API?

I tried:

component.isGrounded = True

componentOcc.isGrounded = True

Doesn't work.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Brad,

I know it's been a while, but I came across your post with the same problem.,

You need to get the occurrence and ground that, i.e.

product = app.activeProduct

design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(product)

rootComp = design.rootComponent

occ0 = rootComp.occurrences.itemByName('Box:3')

occ0.isGrounded=True

I hope this helps?

Hi Mr Brad.Bylls

Consider looking into the few years old conversation:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-api-and-scripts/i-am-isgrounded/m-p/7169797

I am not sure if the API ground is still the same, but ...

@MichaelT_123

This what I ended up using at the time.

root = design.rootComponent occ = root.occurrences.item(0) comp = occ.component subOcc1 = comp.occurrences.item(0) subOcc1Proxy = subOcc1.createForAssemblyContext(occ) subOcc1Proxy.isGrounded = True

Thanks for the input.
