Script / Add-on to conditionally remove components??
Hi @3d_low ,
I made a script to delete components by name.
This is the script:
app = adsk.core.Application.get()
des = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(app.activeProduct)
def remove_components_parametrically():
try:
REMOVE_PARAMETER = 'remove_components'
app.log(f'----------------------------------------')
remove_parameter = des.userParameters.itemByName(REMOVE_PARAMETER)
if remove_parameter:
comp_names = remove_parameter.comment.split(',')
app.log(f'Components to delete: {comp_names}')
comp_stack = [des.rootComponent]
while len(comp_stack):
comp = comp_stack.pop()
for occ in comp.allOccurrences:
if occ.component:
if occ.component.name in comp_names:
app.log(f'"{occ.component.name}" deleted')
occ.deleteMe()
else:
comp_stack.append(occ.component)
else:
app.log(f'"{REMOVE_PARAMETER}" user parameter not found')
except:
app.log(f'{traceback.format_exc()}')
This how it works:
1. Define a user parameter with name "remove_components" with any value, and use its description to add the components names to be deleted separated by comma (whitout spaces):
I added "sphere,box" in my test.
2. Run the script, calling the function remove_components_parametrically()
All components at any level whose names are in the parameter description will be deleted.
This is the model I used:
And this is the result:
Two spheres and a box were deleted.
Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

Hi,
I made an improvement over the previous version, so a search could be done by component name itself or by full path of component, in case you know that full path of the component in the design tree.
So, in the example I post the component "sphere" appears twice in the model. If you want to delete just the occurence under "Component4" you can specify "/Component4/sphere" instead of "sphere", and the sphere in the root component wont be deleted.
This is the code with improvement:
def remove_components_parametrically():
try:
REMOVE_PARAMETER = 'remove_components'
app.log(f'----------------------------------------')
remove_parameter = des.userParameters.itemByName(REMOVE_PARAMETER)
if remove_parameter:
comp_names = remove_parameter.comment.split(',')
app.log(f'Components to delete: {comp_names}')
comp_stack = [(des.rootComponent, '')]
while len(comp_stack):
(comp, path) = comp_stack.pop()
for occ in comp.allOccurrences:
if occ.component:
full_name = f'{path}/{occ.component.name}'
if occ.component.name in comp_names:
app.log(f'"{occ.component.name}" deleted')
occ.deleteMe()
elif full_name in comp_names:
app.log(f'"{full_name}" deleted')
occ.deleteMe()
else:
comp_stack.append((occ.component, f'{path}/{occ.component.name}'))
else:
app.log(f'"{REMOVE_PARAMETER}" user parameter not found')
except:
app.log(f'{traceback.format_exc()}')
And this is the result:
