Name	Type	Access	Description
ContinuousMode	Boolean	RW	Gets or sets the use of continuous curve selection in 3D world.
SnapOnCurve	Boolean	RW	Gets or sets the ability to select a curve.
SnapOnCurveLoop	Boolean	RW	Gets or sets the ability to select a curve loop.
SnapOnSurface	Boolean	RW	Gets or sets the ability to select a point on a face.
TargetAvailable	Boolean	R	Gets if pointing at a valid target.
TargetCurveAvailable	Boolean	R	Gets if pointing at an available curve.
TargetCurveIndex	Integer	R	Gets the index of an available curve.
TargetCurveLoopAvailable	Boolean	R	Gets if pointing at an available curve loop.
TargetCurveLoopIndex	Integer	R	Gets the index of an available curve loop.
TargetCurves	list[vcPickedTopologyCurveInfo]	R	Gets a list of vcPickedTopologyCurveInfo for target.
TargetGeometrySet	vcObject	R	Gets geometry set of a target.
TargetLocked	Boolean	R	Gets if target has been selected in 3D world.
TargetNode	vcObject	R	Gets the node containing target.
TargetNormal	vcVector	R	If available, gets surface normal of target.
TargetNormalAvailable	Boolean	R	Gets if surface normal is available for target.
TargetPosition	vcVector	R	Gets the position vector of target in World coordinate system.
TargetSurfaceAvailable	Boolean	R	Gets if pointing at an available point on surface.
TargetSurfaceIndex	Integer	R	Gets the index of an available surface.

Methods

Learn how to use methods here. The methods are also inherited from the parent class.

Name	Return Type	Parameters	Description
execute	None	None	Runs the TopologyPickService.

Events

Learn how to use events here. The events are also inherited from the parent class.

Name	Parameters	Description
OnTargetAvailable	None	Triggered when pointing at an available target. See more The command itself is passed as an event argument, thereby providing access to updated property values.
OnTargetSet	None	Triggered when a valid target has been selected in 3D world. See more The command itself is passed as an event argument, thereby providing access to updated property values.

Example: Topology Selection Continuous

"""Implement continuous selection with the vcTopologyPickService and print target curves."""
import vcCore as vc

def target_set():
    print("TargetSet")
    for curve_info in cmd.TargetCurves:
        print(curve_info)

app = vc.getApplication()
cmd = app.TopologyPickService
cmd.ContinuousMode = True
cmd.OnTargetSet += target_set
cmd.execute()
