HoleFeature reference on selected face

[Anonymous]

I want to make simple app to make holes for shelfs, so the easy way would be Hole feature, rather then sketch and extrude.

Idea is to select face for holes, edge from front and top and also the edge on the back.

Thank you

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        holeDepth = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal(1.2)        
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface
        design = app.activeProduct
        rootComp = adsk.fusion.Component.cast(design.rootComponent)
        sketches = rootComp.sketches
        extrudes = rootComp.features.extrudeFeatures
        faceSel = ui.selectEntity('Select a face', 'Faces')
        if faceSel:
            selectedFace = adsk.fusion.BRepFace.cast(faceSel.entity)
            Edge1Sel = ui.selectEntity('Select a edge', 'LinearEdges')
            selEdge = adsk.fusion.BRepEdge.cast(Edge1Sel.entity)
            holes = rootComp.features.holeFeatures
            holeinput = holes.createSimpleInput(holeDepth)
            # ? holeinput.setPositionOnEdge(selectedFace,selEdge,1)
            holeinput.setDistanceExtent(holeDepth)
            hole = holes.add(holeinput)
    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

[p.seem · Accepted solution]

Have you seen the setPositionByPlaneAndOffsets methods of the holefeatureinput?  It's described here.  It looks like that might do what you want, using your selected face and pair of edges.  

Good luck,
