A collection of points does not contain a profile anymore after rotation

[Anonymous]

Dear fellow scripters,

First, fusion, great job with the API support.

I made some elaborate script creating the following profiles and loft through them (see other post). The problem I now encounter is that the (slightly) rotated sketches do not contain a profile anymore. Is there a way to overcome this issue? It has probably something to do with the XY constructionplane "rootComp.xYConstructionPlane" that is used, but the behaviour is the same for the YZ and ZX planes. Is there a 3D sketch type?

After deselecting 'Profile 8' it is clear that the other, rotated, sketches do not form profiles (are orange-like) After deselecting 'Profile 8'  it is clear that the other, rotated, sketches do not form profiles (they are not turning orange)

I added a minimum working example with profiles that do, and do not work. Comment any profiles to prevent them from being ploted. Please try it!

Hopefully someone can aid me in this, more people must have had this problem..? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Jan Frouws

The problem is that the points for the "invalid" profiles aren't actually all in the same plane.

I modified your script like so:

for index, Profile in enumerate(ProfileCollection): # Plot all the uncommented profiles
    print("start profile %d" % index)
    nrDP = len(Profile[0])

    # Define the points the spline will fit through.
    points = adsk.core.ObjectCollection.create()

    for PointNr in range(nrDP):
        x=Profile[0][PointNr]
        y=Profile[1][PointNr]
        z=Profile[2][PointNr]
        points.add(adsk.core.Point3D.create(x,y,z))

    plane = adsk.core.Plane.create(points[0],
                                   points[0].vectorTo(points[1]).crossProduct(points[0].vectorTo(points[2])))

    for point in points:
        print(app().measureManager.measureMinimumDistance(plane, point).value)

    # Create the spline.
    spline = sketch.sketchCurves.sketchFittedSplines.add(points)

The successful profiles' points were all in the same plane (measureMinimumDistance returned 0), but here are the

results for the last 2 profiles:

Of course, with floating point math, there is expected to be a small amount of non-planarity,  but I think fusion's point tolerance is 1e-6, while your points are up to almost 1e-3 away from the plane.

I'm assuming that the "invalid" profiles are externally rotated versions of the first profile? If so, here's an alternate way to rotate them using fusion's apis.
