How to get a scene for each selected element using python in cadwork? #127
Description
Activity
hey, you have to set the elements inactive.
import element_controller as ec import cadwork import scene_controller as sc **import visualization_controller as vc** # Get the IDs of all selected elements element_ids = ec.get_active_identifiable_element_ids() **vc.set_inactive(element_ids)** # Check if there are selected elements if element_ids: # Create an individual scene for each element for i in range(len(element_ids)): scene_name = f'Scene {i + 1}' # Add 1 to start counting from 1 new_scene = sc.add_scene(scene_name) # Check if the scene was successfully created if new_scene: # Add the corresponding element to the scene sc.add_elements_to_scene(scene_name, [element_ids[i]]) # Activate the scene sc.activate_scene(scene_name) else: print("No elements selected.")Reacted by Michael Brunner and lucasWe will check this behaviour, looks like an unexpected behaviour. As an
List[elementId]is explicitly passed as a parameter, only this should be added to the scene.import element_controller as ec import scene_controller as sc import visualization_controller as vc def main(): element_ids = ec.get_active_identifiable_element_ids() vc.set_inactive(element_ids) # this should not be necessary in the future (bug) print(f"{len(element_ids)} active elements.") for index, element_id in enumerate(element_ids): scene_name = f"Scene {index}" if sc.add_scene(scene_name): sc.add_elements_to_scene(scene_name, [element_id]) if __name__ == '__main__': main()
Reacted by lucasThe function corresponds to the standard behaviour of cadwork.
add_scenecreates a scene and adds the active elements.
Therefore, the elements must be deactivated before the scene is added.Reacted by lucasThanks!

Based on the code from the Cadwork API documentation, I have created the code below. My intention is to obtain a scene for each selected element. However, when I select multiple elements, it currently creates a scene for each one. Unfortunately, the content of each scene includes all the elements instead of having each element in a separate scene.
