[Sune]

Hello,

I started during what I supposed would be a very simple task, I still believe it is, but I ran into some problems. I want to create a small check mesh script where some of the output are pictures of different parts of the surface mesh.

In my first attempt I used the tdv library commands to set an appropriate view and then take a picture of that. This method worked without flaw. But since my geometry is very large and varies somewhat in shape from case to case, it is not allways straight forward figuring out where the surface that I want to take a picture of is located.

So I came up with another method of doing it. I simply blank out all the parts except those which contains the surface of interest, then i zoom to fit, orient the view and take a picture. Should be straight forward.

The problem is, when I execute the replay script, the blanking out part is not reflected in the viewer.

I can enter the commands manually one by one and it will work.

So, I'm sure that all my commands work, I'm just missing the bit where I force the viewer to update. Can anyone here help me out with this problem?



Example of the commands I use:

# Hide every type except surfaces
set family_list [ic_geo_list_families] 
ic_geo_update_visibility point $family_list 0
ic_geo_update_visibility curve $family_list 0
ic_geo_update_visibility surface $family_list 1
ic_geo_update_visibility density $family_list 0
ic_geo_update_visibility body $family_list 0
 
# Show all surfaces as solid with wire frams
ic_geo_configure_objects surface 1 solid 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 {} 0 0 0 0 {} 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
 
# Alternatively use
#ic_uns_subset_configure All -shade flat_wire
#ic_uns_subset_configure Selected -shade flat_wire
 
# Hide all parts
ic_uns_update_family_type visible {} {!NODE LINE_2 QUAD4 !HEXA_8} update 0
 
# Show the parts I want to take a picture off
ic_uns_update_family_type visible {_SRF_1 _SRF_2 _SRF_3} {!NODE LINE_2 QUAD4 !HEXA_8} update 0
