How to transform global axis into local using python in cadwork? #128
Description
Activity
you could do something like this
from typing import List import cadwork import element_controller as ec import geometry_controller as gc def get_element_orientation_and_position(element_id: int): point1 = gc.get_p1(element_id) x_direction = gc.get_xl(element_id) y_direction = gc.get_yl(element_id) return point1, x_direction, y_direction def transform_element(element_id: int, point1_new: cadwork.point_3d, x_direction_new: cadwork.point_3d, y_direction_new: cadwork.point_3d): point1_old, x_direction_old, y_direction_old = get_element_orientation_and_position(element_id) ec.apply_transformation_coordinate([element_id], point1_old, x_direction_old, y_direction_old, point1_new, x_direction_new, y_direction_new) if __name__ == '__main__': element_ids: List[int] = ec.get_user_element_ids() x_direction_new = cadwork.point_3d(1., 0., 0.) y_direction_new = cadwork.point_3d(0., 1., 0.) for element_id in element_ids: point1_new = gc.get_p1(element_id) # or set your preferred position transform_element(element_id, point1_new, x_direction_new, y_direction_new)

Hi,
Could someone please share a code snippet utilizing the
apply_transformation_coordinate(elements, old_point, old_xl, old_yl, new_point, new_xl, new_yl)method? To aid our understanding, let's consider a practical example involving an inclined beam in Cadwork. Let's envision placing the beam in a scene and, subsequently, using the mentioned method to transform the global axis into local coordinates. The expected outcome is that the beam no longer remains inclined.
