MACROS TO SELECT SURFACES

Dear All,

I would like to create a macro to select displayed surfaces in a specific location (by window or something like it) and move in a specific collector (i.e. surfaces displayed and located in window defined by (x,y,z; x1y1z1) move in collector 'Green').

could someone help me, please?

thanks a lot in advance and best regards,

Fabio

Hello,

normally there is the function

*createmark entity_type mark_id '?option?' list

and option can be 'by box' x0 y0 z0 x1 y1 z1 syst location contained all tol

but... it doesn't work for surfaces. So i have no idea at the moment.

PS: Moving is not the problem, but you need a mark before

Hello FAFORNO & MARIO

There is a function to get location of surfaces: hm_getgeometrybox surf_id

so to get surfs in a specific location, we can first make a list of {SurfID Location}

and then search in this list for each location you indicated

regards,
