Clear highlighted surfaces
Altair EmployeeI am selecting 3 nodes somewhere in my model in order to define a plane using the
*createmarkpanel nodes 1 'Select 3 nodes!'
command. In the process of the selection I am using the plane/line/edge highlight feature provided by HyperMesh(I keep pressing the LMB until it turns to a rectangle and then select a geometric feature). The problem is that the highlighted surfaces stay highlighted even after I've pressed the 'proceed' button.
Is there any way to undo the selection?
Regards, Stefan

Thank you, but unfortunately it's not working. The surfs aren't temporarly highlighted anymore but as soon as you enter a panel and go back the surfaces are plain white again.There might be a better way which I am not aware of, but you could simple do a 'dummy selection' afterwards, e.g.
*createmark lines 1 displayed
*clearmark lines 1

I more or less accidentally worked around the problem by calling a commandfile in my TCL script. *trim_by_offset_edges did not work when I called it in my script (it worked if i executed the command in the command window) but it did, executing a cmd file. After that command all highlighted surfaces are not highlighted anymore :-)
how about ...
hm_createmark lines 1 'advanced' 'displayed';
set lineList [hm_getmark lines 1];
puts $lineList;
*clearmark lines 1;
this code will select the displayed lines and store the id in a tcl list.
