ILogic - number of solids within a ipt file

[Mark_XD_UK]

• Hi all, is there a way of creating an iLogic rule that can identify the number of solids within a ipt part file & populate result into a custom iproperty?  Thx in advance

Hi @Mark_XD_UK

The solidbody info can be found under surfacebodies in the part component definition object. See help page here.

You can check between surfaces and solidbodies further if you need to. 

Try this out. 

Dim partDoc as PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim compDef as PartComponentDefinition = partDoc.ComponentDefinition

Dim count as Integer = compDef.SurfaceBodies.Count

Dim propertyName As String = "SolidBodyCount"

customPropertySet = partDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")
Dim prop As [Property]
Try
      prop = customPropertySet.Item(propertyName)
Catch
      ' Assume error means not found
    prop = customPropertySet.Add("", propertyName)
End Try

prop.Value = count
