Hi,everyone!
The following js code is a simple DesignModeler example.I want to body2 pattern around YAxis. But it does not work. How to set pattern axis?

var XYPlane = agb.GetXYPlane();
agb.SetActivePlane (XYPlane);

function planeSketchesOnly (p)
{

//Plane
p.Plane = agb.GetActivePlane();
p.Origin = p.Plane.GetOrigin();
p.XAxis = p.Plane.GetXAxis();
p.YAxis = p.Plane.GetYAxis();

//Sketch1
p.Sk1 = p.Plane.NewSketch();
p.Sk1.Name = "Sketch";

//Edges
with (p.Sk1)
{
a=10
b=20
h=20
p.Ln11 = Line(a,0,b,0);
p.Ln12 = Line(b,0,b,h);
p.Ln13 = Line(b,h,a,h);
p.Ln14 = Line(a,h,a,0);
}
edge1=p.Ln14;

//Sketch2
p.Sk2 = p.Plane.NewSketch();
p.Sk2.Name = "Sketch2";

//Edges
with (p.Sk2)
{
a=15
b=24
h=10
h0=12
p.Ln21 = Line(a,h0,b,h0);
p.Ln22 = Line(b,h0,b,h0+h);
p.Ln23 = Line(b,h0+h,a,h+h0);
p.Ln24 = Line(a,h+h0,a,h0);
}


//Dimensions and/or constraints
with (p.Plane)
{

}
p.Plane.EvalDimCons(); //Final evaluate of all dimensions and constraints in plane
return p;
} //End Plane JScript function: planeSketchesOnly

//Call Plane JScript function
var ps1 = planeSketchesOnly (new Object());

//BODY1
var MyRevolve1 = agb.Revolve(agc.Add,
ps1.Sk1,
ps1.YAxis,
agc.DirNormal,
360.0,
0.0,
agc.No,
0.0,
0.0);
agb.Regen();

//BODY2
var MyRevolve2 = agb.Revolve(agc.Frozen,
ps1.Sk2,
ps1.YAxis,
agc.DirNormal,
3.0,
0.0,
agc.No,
0.0,
0.0);
agb.Regen(); //To insure model validity


var MyPattern = ag.gui.CreatePattern();
MyPattern.Name="Pattern1";
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Pattern Type");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Circular";

ag.listview.ActivateItem("Geometry");
agb.ClearSelections();
body1 = ag.fm.Body(1);
agb.AddSelect(agc.TypeBody, body1);
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Apply";


//==============================
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Axis");
//ag.bodyPick;
ag.edgePick; //These two methods have been tried, No Pass!
ag.gui.SelectAll();
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Apply";
//============================
ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD2, Angle");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Evently Spaced";

ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD3, Copies (>=0)");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "8";
agb.Regen();

Hi Vallence,

//==============================
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Axis");
//ag.bodyPick;
ag.edgePick; //These two methods have been tried, No Pass!
ag.gui.SelectAll();
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Apply";
//=======================

You shud pick either the 3D edge at center or pick "ZX Plane" rather than picking all bodies. Try to do manually so you will understand

ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD2, Angle");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Evently Spaced";

use "40" instead of evently spaced

ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD3, Copies (>=0)");

try to put exactly what is in the pattern so "(FD3, Copies (>0))" will work

Hi KAPI!
Thans for your reply. I have seen the advice you suggested, it is not the essence of the problem. What i want to do is to select XYPlane's YAxis.

[Kapi]

why do you have to select Y axis specifically?
if you only give reference to XY plane, it should work!

[Vallence]

Hi Kapi，Thank you for your prompt reply.

I tried the following code,but it deos not work.

var PatAxis=XYPlane.GetYAxis();
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Axis");
agb.AddSelect(agc.TypeEdge3d, PatAxis);
ag.listview.ItemValue ="Apply";


The key question is i do not know how to select YAxis and let it work .

[Kapi]

i will give it a go and let you know

[Vallence]

I upload the actual result and the result I expect. You can find the difference between them.

Thanks very much for Kapi and EFRIVIDA's selfless help，now I solved the problem that bothered me for several days. I will publish the code for my friends Who meet the same trouble with them.

[Kapi]

good work and thanks for posting final codes.

[Kapi]

Hey vallence,

Did this work because you changed the geometry?
previously 1 of the edges was coming in center which is why you were trying for Y axis in XY plane.
New geometry shows the body is away from center, is that why

ag.edgePick;

worked?

Cheers
KAPI

I tried different a'values while I was debugging the code.Different a shows different result. Under current code,the final result can not vary with
a.

with (p.Sk2)
{
a=15 //when a=0 the final result is the same
b=24
h=10
h0=12
p.Ln21 = Line(a,h0,b,h0);
p.Ln22 = Line(b,h0,b,h0+h);
p.Ln23 = Line(b,h0+h,a,h+h0);
p.Ln24 = Line(a,h+h0,a,h0);
}
