bodies not recognized as surfacebody

[Michele_DeLucaSW7PJ]

Hi everyone

i'm trying to do some work on these bodies in this attached part but ilogic does not see them

..

ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies.Count 

has 0 as result ..how is it possible?

That's interesting, and very odd.  It is showing two bodies in the model browser tree, under the Solid Bodies folder, but is oddly not showing any 'proper'/native features below the Origin folder.  Just a couple icons that look like the body icons, with names like "None" & "None_1", for some reason.  And I too get zero bodies from the following code within that part:

Dim oPDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
MsgBox("Bodies Count = " & oPDoc.ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies.Count.ToString,,"")

How was this part created?  Is it imported from some other file type?  Did it get some other part(s) derived into it, but the 'Link' was broken to its/their source?  Please explain.

Hi yes i think some kind of weird import.. 

i notice that is recognized as feature..

ComponentDefinition.Features.Count

 the result of this is 2

the problem is that i need to get the maximum length dimension thru OrientedMinimumRangeBox but this works only for solid bodies..

You can use the same Function from the ComponentDefinition object.

Dim oPDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oOBox As OrientedBox = oPDoc.ComponentDefinition.OrientedMinimumRangeBox

yes that will work

thank you!

the basic reason is the component need to repair the surfacebody or surface. I guess
an error occurred during the  translating.

yes in fact I imported again and they are recognized as bodies..
