Catscript to count intersects

Catscript to count intersects

Catscript to count intersects

(OP)
Hello. I have a line (or axis) within one catpart and I want to count the number of other catparts (within the same product) that intersect this line using a CATScript macro. Or I can count the surfaces that intersect the line instead of the part bodies if that is easier. Is this even possible?

RE: Catscript to count intersects

Hi,

You can extract an edge in that CATPart, make a small solid (a rib for example) around the extracted edge, then do a clash analyze (from the exported XML report you can get what you want).

Regards
Fernando
