Design Modeler scripting

Hi all,
I need to automatically create a set of spheres, depending on a list of point coming from an external file. I tried using a .js macro and until now I produce the following:

Code:

//Import the points

var fp1 = agb.FPoint(agc.FPointConstruction, agc.FPointCoordinateFile);

fp1.Name = "coordinatePoints";

fp1.CoordinateFile = "PATH\\file.txt";

agb.Regen();



//Generate spheres according to the sets of points from fp1 above

var i = 1;

while (fp1.GetPoint(i, 1)) {

    var SP = ag.gui.CreatePrimitive(1);        

        SP.SphereRadius = "1";

        i = i + 1;

}

agb.Regen();

Points are correctly imported, but I am not able to do the following things:

Import points in a different unit systems
Create a sphere for each point (for the moment only one is generated)
Modify the center of the sphere using the previously read points

Can please someone help me or tell me where can I find a list of example and tutorials?
Thank you

Lorenzo

Solved

Sorry, I just solved it:

Code:



//Import the points

var fp1 = agb.FPoint(agc.FPointConstruction, agc.FPointCoordinateFile);

fp1.Name = "coordinatePoints";

fp1.CoordinateFile = "PATH\\FILE.txt";

agb.Regen();



//Generate spheres according to the sets of points from fp1 above

var i = 1;

while (fp1.GetPoint(1, i)) {

    var SP = ag.gui.CreatePrimitive(1);        

        //

    SP.SphereRadius = "0.00125";

    //

    ag.listview.ActivateItem("Sphere");

    ag.listview.ItemValue = "SPHERE_" + i;

    ag.listview.ActivateItem("Operation");

    ag.listview.ItemValue = "Add Frozen";

    ag.listview.ActivateItem("Origin Definition");

    ag.listview.ItemValue = "Coordinates";

    ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD3, Origin X Coordinate");

    ag.listview.ItemValue = agb.GetPointX(fp1.GetPoint(1, i));

    ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD4, Origin Y Coordinate");

    ag.listview.ItemValue = agb.GetPointY(fp1.GetPoint(1, i));

    ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD5, Origin Z Coordinate");

    ag.listview.ItemValue = agb.GetPointZ(fp1.GetPoint(1, i));

    agb.Regen();

    //

    i = i + 1;

}

Hi Lorenzo,

I'm dealing with the same problem, gotta generate a plate with random holes in it and mesh it, all automaticaly using script,
would you mind sharing your text file containing the points you used in your script? I wanna generate the points using a code, but not sure yet how I should arrange them inside the text file
