API to find surfaces through which a line passes

 Hi All..

 

           I have a line (which is basically an extended 'bolt axis line' and I have the bolt head center node). Is there any API to  find all the surface ids through which that line passes (to find the length of the bolt)?

 

Thanks,

Sudhanva Rao

    Hi

    Can you try with the intersect option in F8 panel?

    Select line and all surfaces from bolt component. You will get 2 nodes at both ends.

    Then measure distance between these nodes.

    I also use that way to classify bolt/nut ^_^/emoticons/default_happy.png' srcset='/emoticons/happy@2x.png 2x' title='^_^' width='20' />
