Can the elements in a set or ply be highlighted via the Python API?

Deleus

When updating a set, or even a ply, via the native buttons, elements currently in the set are highlighted so to give the user a clear look at what it's currently in and what's out.

Can this behaviour be recreated via the Python API?

Updating a collection via interactive selection doesn't achieve this behaviour…

Any idea?

Hi @Deleus

You can use model.hm_highlightmark.

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()
elem_collection = hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [10, 11, 12])
model.hm_highlightmark(collection=elem_collection, highlight="low")

Thanks,
