How can I reset the placement properties?

[mario52]

hi

then make a duplicate (edit menu duplicate)

that was the idea but with copy

@sangdth
this little macro puts parameter of the selected object to zero

Code: Select all

import FreeCAD,Draft
def zero():
    sel = FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelection()
    try:
        App.ActiveDocument.getObject(sel[0].Name).Placement=App.Placement(App.Vector(0,0,0), App.Rotation(App.Vector(0,0,1),0), App.Vector(0,0,0))
    except Exception:
        App.Console.PrintError("Select one object" + "\n")
zero()

Hei, the refine shape feature is enough for me. So I think we can stop here

Thank you jmaustpc, wmayer, shoogen, mario52... I saved all your codes, and will read it later when I have time to learn. (I'm not good at coding.)

The cleanest way is to apply the placement on the children and use the method replaceShape.

I know I'm on an old thread, but the issue has came out only on FC 0.20 releases and above and I discover it only recently...

Importing a multi object STEP model, using the 'Enable STEP compound merge' option, and trying to reset the placement of the imported shape, FC will trig an error in the console.

Here the code and the testing file:

Code: Select all

import ImportGui
ImportGui.open(u"D:/Temp/User Library-LTST-S270KGKT.step")
s=App.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.Shape
r=[]
t=s.copy()
for i in t.childShapes():
  c=i.copy()
  c.Placement=t.Placement.multiply(c.Placement)
  r.append((i,c))

w=t.replaceShape(r)
w.Placement=App.Placement()
Part.show(w)

and the error in the panel:

Code: Select all

15:49:24  <Part> ViewProviderExt.cpp(1268): Cannot compute Inventor representation for the shape of Unnamed#Shape: BRepAdaptor_Curve::No geometry
15:49:24  <Part> ViewProviderExt.cpp(1268): Cannot compute Inventor representation for the shape of Unnamed#Shape: BRepAdaptor_Curve::No geometry

This behavior is not appearing in FC 0.19.4 or in FC Link Daily 2022.1128.

I have tested your code with the option Enable STEP compound merge on and off and in both cases it works as expected.

Do your v0.20 and v0.21 use both the same OCC version? Which OCC version does FC Link Daily 2022.1128 use?
