My first script - Doesn't seem to work??

[HarrisonClassic]

Hi all,

Trying to create a simple cube via the following script, buyt all it seems to do is create a line in the sketch that is 1000mm long!

What am I missing?

import adsk.core
import adsk.fusion
import traceback

def create_cube():
app = adsk.core.Application.get()
design = app.activeProduct
root = design.rootComponent

# Define cube dimensions
width = 100 # mm
length = 200 # mm
depth = 25 # mm

# Create a new sketch on the XY plane
sketches = root.sketches
xy_plane = root.xYConstructionPlane
sketch = sketches.add(xy_plane)

# Create a rectangle in the sketch
sketch_lines = sketch.sketchCurves.sketchLines
point1 = adsk.core.Point3D.create(0, 0, 0)
point2 = adsk.core.Point3D.create(width, 0, 0)
point3 = adsk.core.Point3D.create(width, length, 0)
point4 = adsk.core.Point3D.create(0, length, 0)

lines = sketch_lines.addByTwoPoints(point1, point2)
lines.addByTwoPoints(point2, point3)
lines.addByTwoPoints(point3, point4)
lines.addByTwoPoints(point4, point1)

# Create an extrusion feature from the sketch
extrudes = root.features.extrudeFeatures
profile = sketch.profiles.item(0)
extrude_input = extrudes.createInput(profile, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation)

# Set the extrusion distance
extrude_input.setDistanceExtent(False, adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal(depth))

extrude = extrudes.add(extrude_input)

try:
create_cube()
except Exception as e:
print('Failed: {}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

Hi,

The line you are creating is 100 cm long (1000 mm), not mm as it is commented out.

I'd suggest reading this article regarding units in Fusion 360: https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-A81B295F-984A-4039-B1CF-B449BEE893D7

As per the other lines of the cube base, you have to create them the same way you create the first, it is, with the sketch_lines.addByTwoPoints() method.

thanks - I forgot about cm being the base unit for Metric.

Let me sort - thanks again
