Hi @tinh,

 

It is opening the panel, but how do i get the output elements from this?

or how do i set the selected elements to a particular group?

Hi all,

 

I used this commands:

 

*createmark elements 1 'ComponentName'
*createmark nodes 1 'by sets' 'SetName'

*interfaceaddsolidface 'YourGroupeName' 0 1 1 30

 

But keep in mind, you will have to create a node set first, if you want to use this commands.

 

hope this is an answer to your question!

I know that the panel is called by hm_private_eemarkorlistpanel

But i am not sure how it works

 

Why do you need to call this panel?

I think finally it will invoke some * commands as @0815 shows above

So you can use them directly, hooking to GUI is just effective in some cases

@tinh @0815 thanks for the replies /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

In my case i need the user to select a particular region using that option.

As of now i found a solution by creating faces and calling *createmarkpanel elems 1 'Please select the elements' 1, then delete faces

which is giving same output.

Hi everyone..

I have use this command 

*createmark elements 1 'ComponentName'
*createmark nodes 1 'by sets' 'SetName'

*interfaceaddsolidface 'YourGroupeName' 0 1 1 30

 

Thing is i had edited the 2line of the command to 

*createmarkpanel nodes 1 'select nodes'

 

i'm getting a error called 'The selected nodes did not defines any faces.'
I have selected 3 and more nodes to define a face but its not detecting.

can anyone please help me out with this 

tinh

You have to select 3 nodes on face of a solid comp. I think so
