Shape detection
(OP)
Hi ,
i'm trying to create a journal that can detect all bodies in an assembly that have a similar geometry as a reference body ,
but it seems that i'm not progressing , any ideas ?
thanks.

RE: Shape detection
How similar do they need to be to be considered a 'match'? Do you have any examples?

RE: Shape detection
Hi,
yes i was thinking the same , and i found a function that can calculate the faces area , so i can compare them to be more accurate , the functions name is UF_SF_face_ask_area , but i have difficulties to crate it .
as an answer to your question, the parts does not to be exactly similar but i think ,if i can calculate the areas of faces i will be able to filter them , because the dimensions of these parts are much smaller then the other parts.
as an exemple, these parts are flanges providing connections between the tubes.

RE: Shape detection
Perhaps a MeasureFaceBuilder object would get what you want.
