Measuring Volume of ALL bodies in the root component and listing them separately

[ChapmanM605]

Hi,

I have multiple bodies in a model all in the root component. I want to know the volume of each body. Display wise i am using the ui.messageBox but would like to export to excel or even just as text.

I have no problem getting and displaying the volume of any one body referenced individually:

body1 = rootComp.bRepBodies.item(0)

volume1 = body1.volume

v1 = str(volume1)

ui.messageBox('The volume is: ' + v1)

My struggle is trying to make a loop that iterates through all bodies to get each volume and display all on one message box (and later export to excel). I have tried multiple ways but this is an idea what i am trying below. Annoyingly the example code in the F360 reference document is really close but summates all the bodies together so i think avoids the need to store separately as a list maybe. I seem to keep come form trying to iterate with floats but struggling to convert to int like i have done before. 

Hope that makes sense and thanks in advnace

    for j in range(0, rootComp.bRepBodies.count😞

            body = rootComp.bRepBodies.item(j)

            volumelist = [body.volume]

      # Format a string to display the volume using the default distance units.

        result = design.unitsManager.formatValue(volumelist, design.unitsManager.defaultLengthUnits + '^3')

        ui.messageBox('The volume list is: ' + result)

Hi,

Instead of the ui.messageBox() method you can use app.log() which use the Text Commands output view to display the results (I used it oftenly for my debugs).

Here you have a script that loops over root.bRepBodies to display every body's volume:

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

app = adsk.core.Application.get()
doc = app.activeDocument
des: adsk.fusion.Design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(app.activeProduct)
root = des.rootComponent


def run(context) -> None:

    try:
        for body in root.bRepBodies:
            app.log(f'{body.name}, {body.volume} cm^3')
    except:
        app.log('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
    adsk.terminate()

And this is a test I made:

I hope this can help.

2 lines of code...Amazing - thank you! I knew i was missing something.

Thanks again
