Combine Cut via API

[Anonymous]

Hey,

I am new to API programming and I have a question: How to set up Combine feature with two bodies, so that the outcome is "cut" instead of "join"? I just cant find where to read about Variables to pass via "createInput" for Combine feature. I think I need to add

"adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.CutFeatureOperation" somewhere, however if I try to push it via createInput, I get an error.

========== My Python Code =============

TargetBody = root.bRepBodies.itemByName('EraserTest')

ToolBodies = adsk.core.ObjectCollection.create()

ToolBodies.add(root.bRepBodies.itemByName('MtRTest'))

CombineCutInput = root.features.combineFeatures.createInput(TargetBody, ToolBodies )

CombineCutFeats = features.combineFeatures

CombineCutInput = CombineCutFeats.createInput(TargetBody, ToolBodies)

CombineCutFeats.add(CombineCutInput)

=====================================

It combines the two bodies, but how to cut?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

It's able to set the operation property of CombineFeatureInput object to CutFeatureOperation. The script below demo how to create a combine feature with "Cut"operation.

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

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface
        
        root = app.activeProduct.rootComponent
        features = root.features
        
        TargetBody = root.bRepBodies.itemByName('EraserTest')
 
        ToolBodies = adsk.core.ObjectCollection.create()
        ToolBodies.add(root.bRepBodies.itemByName('MtRTest'))
         
        CombineCutInput = root.features.combineFeatures.createInput(TargetBody, ToolBodies )
         
        CombineCutFeats = features.combineFeatures
        CombineCutInput = CombineCutFeats.createInput(TargetBody, ToolBodies)
        CombineCutInput.operation = adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.CutFeatureOperation
        CombineCutFeats.add(CombineCutInput)
        
        ui.messageBox('Hello script')

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
