Python Code T Shape Support Modeling

[DW-KIM]

hello.

I'm trying to create a T-shaped support using Python code.

The code I wrote is as follows, and it appears in the Spec Editor, but when inserting an item, the message "Geometry can not be generated with the given parameters."
It is written with the error "Can't find symbol for specified part."

Can someone please check what I'm doing wrong in my code?

from math import *
from varmain.primitiv import *
from varmain.custom import *

@Anonymous(Group="Support", Ports="1", TooltipShort="Tbar", TooltipLong="This is a Custom T Support", LengthUnit="in")
@group("MainDimensions")
@Anonymous(C1=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Width Frame")
@Anonymous(C2=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Middle Frame Height")
@Anonymous(C3=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Frame Thickness C3")
@Anonymous(C4=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Frame Thickness C4")
@Anonymous(C5=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Length")
@Anonymous(D=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Pipe Diameter")

def Tbar(s, C1=4, C2=4, C3=0.125, C4=0.12, C5=8, D=2.5, **kw):
# MISC BOX
# o0 = BOX(s, L=1, H=1, W=1)

# Support itself
o1 = BOX(s, L=C5, W=C1, H=C3).translate(0, 0, -D/2)
o2 = BOX(s, L=C5, W=C4, H=C2).translate(0, 0, -((D/2) - C3)).rotateX(90)

# Unite the components
o1.uniteWith(o2)
o2.erase()

# Set a reference point
s.setPoint((0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0))

Hello

Here is the corrected program as well as its representation

from math import *
from varmain.primitiv import *
from varmain.custom import *

@Anonymous(Group="Support", Ports="1", TooltipShort="Tbar", TooltipLong="This is a Custom T Support", LengthUnit="in")
@group("MainDimensions")
@Anonymous(C1=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Width Frame")
@Anonymous(C2=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Middle Frame Height")
@Anonymous(C3=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Frame Thickness C3")
@Anonymous(C4=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Frame Thickness C4")
@Anonymous(C5=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Length")
@Anonymous(D=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Pipe Diameter")

def Tbar(s, C1=4, C2=4, C3=0.125, C4=0.12, C5=8, D=2.5, **kw):
# MISC BOX
# o0 = BOX(s, L=1, H=1, W=1)

# Support itself
o1 = BOX(s, L=C5, W=C1, H=C3).translate((0, 0, -D/2))
o2 = BOX(s, L=C5, W=C4, H=C2).translate((0, 0, -((D/2) - C3))).rotateX(90)

# Unite the components
o1.uniteWith(o2)
o2.erase()

# Set a reference point
s.setPoint((0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0))

Oh right. Since I changed that part, the modeling came out anyway. And somehow I ended up creating a T-shaped support.

Fixed the s.setPoint part.

Then please answer one more question.

What functions are the items after s.setpoint referring to?
For example, (0,0,0) seems to be a coordinate.
What do the items behind (1,0,0) represent?

Hello

3.2.10 .setPoint 

The modifier function .setPoint  insert a point at position p and set the direction v to the next part inside this point. 

Alternative we can also set a rotation angle a (most needed for elliptical flanges to get the right alignment) 

The argument p and v can be a mPoint, mVector or a 3‐Tupel (x, y, z). 

The rotation angle a has to be given as degree. 

a call from Python should be like 

obj.setPoint(p,v)

or 

obj.setPoint(p,v,a)
