add_selection_rule

ModelingPly.add_selection_rule(selection_rule, *, operation_type='intersect', template_rule=False, parameter_1=0.0, parameter_2=0.0)

Add a LinkedSelectionRule to the ModelingPly.

Parameters:

• selection_rule (BooleanSelectionRule | CutOffSelectionRule | CylindricalSelectionRule | GeometricalSelectionRule | ParallelSelectionRule | SphericalSelectionRule | TubeSelectionRule | VariableOffsetSelectionRule) – Link to an existing selection rule.

• operation_type (BooleanOperationType) – Determines how the selection rule is combined with other selection rules.

• template_rule (bool) – If True, the selection rule is a template rule. This means the parameter values are taken from the parameter_1 and parameter_2 attributes, not from the linked selection rule.

• parameter_1 (float) – First parameter value of the selection rule. Only applies if template_rule is True.

• parameter_2 (float) – Second parameter value of the selection rule. Only applies if template_rule is True.

Return type:

LinkedSelectionRule

The parameter_1 and parameter_2 attributes determine the values of the following parameters, depending on the type of selection rule:

Rule Type	parameter_1	parameter_2
ParallelSelectionRule	lower_limit	upper_limit
CylindricalSelectionRule	radius	-
SphericalSelectionRule	radius	-
TubeSelectionRule	outer_radius	inner_radius
GeometricalSelectionRule	in_plane_capture_tolerance	-
VariableOffsetSelectionRule	-	-
BooleanSelectionRule	-	-

Note that CutOffSelectionRule and BooleanSelectionRule objects cannot be linked to a Boolean Selection Rule, only to a Modeling Ply..
