Get shared shapes

Hello,

I have some difficulty with this operation.

I have two solid, one is the resulting of a boolean 'Cut' operation and the other one is the 'tool solid' used in the 'cut operation'.

Thus, they should share one common face.

But when I try 'Get shared shape', sub shapes type : face, I have an error : 'the given shapes have not shared sub-shapes of the requested type'.

Any idea of what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks,

Romain

Hello Roman

A mistake is here:

Thus, they should share one common face.

Yes, a surface (geometrical entity) is same, but faces (topological entities) are different: faces of the tool and the result are bound by different edges.

Try to use GetInPlace() function.

 def GetInPlace(self, theShapeWhere, theShapeWhat, ...)

Hello,

thank for the quick reply, I am not sure what you mean by GetInPlace() function. 

I am currently using the GUI, is the function available there (I did not find it) ? 

Or should I use a script ?

Romain

In GUI, "Get Shapes On Shape" operation seems suitable.

Ok. It did work for a simple test case (three cubes: one initial cube, one tool, one cut result), the resulting of the shape on shape operation was the simple face.

But when I tried with a more complex problem (one cube, one cylinder, one pierced cube (cut result) ), the shape on shape operation gives the result 'not a single entity have been found'. It seems to me that the result of this operation should be a face (an extruded circle)

With a box and a cylinder cut from it, I got a cylindrical face. Parameters were:

Shape for exploding: Cut_1

Solid for checking: Cylinder_1
Result type: Face
State: ON

Ok, I found a solution, I just had to put the option 'state' to ON, and not IN. Not sure what that mean though.
