[Domanda] Create PythonPart without polyhedron

Hello forum, as I am learning Allplan PythonPart with the Reinforcement examples, In most of them (Closed Stirrup, Open Stirrup, etc) when you create the PythonPart it always comes with a polyhedron and the reinforcement part.

I want to create a PythonPart with just the reinforcement, but when i tried to change/delete the polyhedron in the code it always results in error or the reinforcement is not selectable after placement. Is there a way to change the example code so that it would return self.create_reinfocement() and handles as a PythonPart?

Many thanks and wish you all a good day!

Hi!
What you have to do is construct the BarPlacement object and append it directly to the CreateElementResult object

def create_element(build_ele, doc) -> CreateElementResult:

    ...

    placement = AllplanReinf.BarPlacement(...)

    model_ele_list = []
    model_ele_list.append(placement)

    return CreateElementResult(elements = model_ele_list)

In the examples you are talking about, firstly a PythonPart-container is created, to which the placement is appended. Then the container is appended to the list of the objects to create in the model (model_ele_list). Just append the placement directly to model_ele_list. I attached an example, that does just that (it will be part of Allplan 2024). I am not sure, if you have access to the pre release 2024 version, because I suspect, the example will not work in 2023. That's because the syntax is aligned with python 3.11.4, and in 2023 we still have the python 3.8.8

Hi,

Please note that we can create a geometry for help building the reinforcement but we don't need to add this geometry to 2d and/or 3d view

I will create soon few new examples for reinforcement but you can look at this (old) one

Hi cmaignan35,

I followed your script and the geometry is invisible on the 2D3D view, but I also could not select the reinforcement part to edit the PythonPart. It looks like the whole reinforcement is unselectable. Do you have a workaround for this?

Hi,

Here the update.

To keep a parametric object, I simply add in help construction the footprint of my element to be reinforced.

Please note : this tip also works when you have an element from the library and you want to keep it as a pythonpart (link here)

Christophe

Edit:
As mentioned previously, this is an old example and many things have evolved since it was written (reference point, altimetry, text hook, ...)

I will soon make updated examples
