HI, @Anonymous !
If it's relevant...)
I've been looking for a solution to this question for several nights😅
On some pages of the forum, I found a direction where to move on. By the way, @tetsuya_miwa's answer gives one of the right directions. Thank you, @tetsuya_miwa!
So, I will try to describe what I managed to find.
There are two ways:
1. It's via .Net API
2. Bridge COM API
1. The first method allows you to create section planes using json. To do this, you first need to enable sections in the Navisworks test model. We can include individual section planes, or a box. Depending on this, the json data model will differ that you get using the GetClippingPlanes() method :
var doc = Application.ActiveDocument;
varactiveView = doc.ActiveView;
var clipps = activeView.GetClippingPlanes();
Next, I take the resulting json data model and make classes in my project that I will use for serialization.
var jsonPlaneData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(planeData, Formatting.Indented);
activeView.SetClippingPlanes(jsonPlaneData);
2. The second method uses the Bridge COM API. The code that I was able to achieve (and based on research on the net) is as follows:
private void CreateSectionBox(Document doc, DocumentCurrentSelection selection)
{
var currentViewPoint = doc.CurrentViewpoint;
var viewPointValue = currentViewPoint?.Value;
var planes = viewPointValue?.InternalClipPlanes;
if (planes == null) return;
planes.SetMode(LcOaClipPlaneSetMode.eMODE_BOX);
if (planes.GetMode() != LcOaClipPlaneSetMode.eMODE_BOX) return;
BoundingBox3D box = selection.SelectedItems.BoundingBox();
//planes.FitToBox(box);
planes.SetBox(box);
planes.SetEnabled(true);
currentViewPoint.Value.ZoomBox(box);
}
Hope this information helps someone.
Best regards,
Bogdan
