Properties

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

Name	Type	Access	Description
BoundingBox	vcBoundingBox	R	Gets an axis-aligned bounding box.
GeometrySetCount	Integer	R	Gets the amount of geometry sets in the container.
GeometrySets	vcList[vcGeometrySet]	R	Gets a list of geometry sets in the container.

Methods

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

Name	Return Type	Parameters	Description
clear	None	None	Removes all geometry sets from the container.
cloneGeometrySets	None	vcGeometryContainer geometryContainer, Optional Keyword[offset = vcMatrix]	Copies all geometry sets in the container to a given container. An optional offset argument can be given to offset the copied geometry, thereby making it easier to distinguish the original from its copy. In this case, geometry is shared between both containers. See more Parameters: container (vcGeometryContainer) : Copy target, offset (vcMatrix): Offset to use when copying. Exceptions: LicenseError: No license for Modeling API.
createGeometrySet	vcObject	vcGeometrySetType arg	Creates a new geometry set of a given type in the container. See Geometry Constants for more information. See more Parameters: type (Enumeration): The type of geometry set to create. Exceptions: LicenseError: No license for Modeling API. ValueError: Unsupported geometry set type. Returns: vcGeometrySet
getGeometrySet	vcGeometrySet	Integer index	Gets a geometry set at a given index in the container. See more Parameters: index (int): The index of the geometry set to retrieve. Exceptions: IndexError: Index out of bounds. Returns: GeometrySet (vcGeometrySet): The geometry set at the specified index.
moveGeometrySets	None	vcGeometryContainer targetContainer, Optional Keyword[offset = vcMatrix]	Moves all geometry sets in the container to a given container. See more Parameters: targetContainer (vcGeometryContainer): The target container to move the geometry sets to. offset (vcMatrix): An optional offset argument to apply to the moved geometry. Exceptions: LicenseError: No license for Modeling API.
setModified	None	None	Marks the geometry of the container as modified, thereby alerting the application that changes need to be saved to file.
transformContent	None	vcMatrix matrix	Transforms all geometry sets of the container by the given matrix. Parameters: matrix (vcMatrix): The transformation matrix to apply.
update	None	None	Updates the bound box of container.
