Detailed Description

The Section plane object and tools.

This module provides tools to build Section plane objects. It also contains functionality to produce SVG rendering of section planes, to be used in TechDraw and Drawing modules

closeViewer()

def ArchSectionPlane.closeViewer

(

name

)

Close temporary viewers

getCameraData()

def ArchSectionPlane.getCameraData

(

floatlist

)

reconstructs a valid camera data string from stored values

getCoinSVG()

def ArchSectionPlane.getCoinSVG	(		cutplane,
			objs,
			cameradata = None,
			linewidth = 0.2,
			singleface = False,
			facecolor = None
	)

Returns an SVG fragment generated from a coin view

getCutShapes()

def ArchSectionPlane.getCutShapes	(		objs,
			cutplane,
			onlySolids,
			clip,
			joinArch,
			showHidden,
			groupSshapesByObject = False
	)

returns a list of shapes (visible, hidden, cut lines...) 
obtained from performing a series of booleans against the given cut plane

getDXF()

def ArchSectionPlane.getDXF

(

obj

)

returns a DXF representation from a TechDraw/Drawing view

Referenced by closeViewer(), and importDXF.getViewDXF().

getFillForObject()

def ArchSectionPlane.getFillForObject	(		o,
			defaultFill,
			source
	)

returns a color tuple from an object's material

getSectionData()

def ArchSectionPlane.getSectionData

(

source

)

Returns some common data from section planes and building parts

Referenced by getDXF(), and getSVG().

getSVG()

def ArchSectionPlane.getSVG	(		source,
			renderMode = "Wireframe",
			allOn = False,
			showHidden = False,
			scale = 1,
			rotation = 0,
			linewidth = 1,
			lineColor = (0.0,0.0,0.0),
			fontsize = 1,
			showFill = False,
			fillColor = (0.8,0.8,0.8),
			techdraw = False,
			fillSpaces = False,
			cutlinewidth = 0,
			joinArch = False
	)

returns an SVG fragment from an Arch SectionPlane or BuildingPart. If
allOn is True, all cut objects are shown, regardless if they are visible or not.
renderMode can be Wireframe (default) or Solid to use the Arch solid renderer. If
showHidden is True, the hidden geometry above the section plane is shown in dashed line.
If showFill is True, the cut areas get filled with a pattern.
lineColor -- Color of lines for the renderMode "Wireframe".
fillColor -- If showFill is True and renderMode is "Wireframe",
             the cut areas are filled with fillColor.
fillSpaces - If True, shows space objects as filled surfaces

isOriented()

def ArchSectionPlane.isOriented	(		obj,
			plane
	)

determines if an annotation is facing the cutplane or not

looksLikeDraft()

def ArchSectionPlane.looksLikeDraft

(

o

)

Does this object look like a Draft shape? (flat, no solid, etc)

makeSectionPlane()

def ArchSectionPlane.makeSectionPlane	(		objectslist = None,
			name = "Section"
	)

makeSectionPlane([objectslist]) : Creates a Section plane objects including the
given objects. If no object is given, the whole document will be considered.

makeSectionView()

def ArchSectionPlane.makeSectionView	(		section,
			name = "View"
	)

makeSectionView(section) : Creates a Drawing view of the given Section Plane
in the active Page object (a new page will be created if none exists
