Hi Vikas

 

Try the below code, but it only works if any section cuts are present in the model. I am not sure why it is not working on normal views.

 

hwi OpenStack

hwi GetSessionHandle session_handle

session_handle GetProjectHandle project_handle

project_handle GetPageHandle page_handle [project_handle GetActivePage]

page_handle GetWindowHandle window_handle [page_handle GetActiveWindow]

window_handle GetClientHandle client_handle

client_handle GetRenderOptionsHandle render_options

render_options SetBoundaryMeshMode features

page_handle Draw

Hi Vpin,

 

I am doing this but still it's not activating feature lines. Please help me.

 

My code is:-

 

hwi OpenStack        
set t [::post::GetT]        
hwi GetSessionHandle sess$t
sess$t GetProjectHandle proj$t
proj$t AddPage    
proj$t RemovePage 1                
proj$t SetActivePage [proj$t GetNumberOfPages]                                
if { [catch {page$t ReleaseHandle} ts] } { }                         
proj$t GetPageHandle page$t [proj$t GetActivePage]    
page$t SetActiveWindow 1
page$t GetWindowHandle win$t [page$t GetActiveWindow]                
win$t GetViewControlHandle view_ctrl_hdl$t            
view_ctrl_hdl$t SetOrientation 'top'
view_ctrl_hdl$t SetPerspectiveMode true
win$t SetClientType 'Animation'
win$t GetClientHandle post1$t
#Load model    
set model_id [post1$t AddModel $op2_file_path]        
post1$t GetModelHandle mod$t $model_id
mod$t SetMeshMode 'features'

  This will work only for ISO and Section cuts but my requirement is different.

Hi Vikas,

 

I could not find any other command for the same. If your requirement allows to create a section cut, try creating a section and move it away from the screen.

Hi Vipin

I have to simply turn it ON 'Feature Lines' for better look.
