How to get the 3d position of a label?

[[Ma...]]

Good morning to all,

I have to get the position in the active 3d view of a label. With a dn label this is possible, but with a normal label it seems that it's not possible (the result is None). I am wrong with something?

[[Ma...]]

If found the bug: if you just visualize the label, the offset posizion in 3d view is None, if you move the label the property "label_offset_in_3d_view" start to work. I attach a video about this that I think i't a bug.

Hi Marco,

Which version (incl. service-pack) of ZEISS INSPECT are you using?

Thank you and best regards,

Matthias

Anyone has an idea?

Sorry, I don't have this version available for testing any more.

[[Ma...]]

With your gom versione don't you have this problem?

maybe try to select that element with the script?

Hi Marco,

I think this is a feature. The offset only exists, if the label was moved from its original 'standard' position.

Hi Nanno! My goal is to take the vector and the position in the 3dview of a dn label then create a normal deviation label in the same position of the dn label. Do you know the right way to do it? 

[[De...]]

hey marco, to clarify - you want a nominal surface point with dn check instead of a deviation label on the surface comparison? 

 

import gom
import numpy as np

gom_part = gom.app.project.parts[0]
label = gom.app.project.inspection['Surface comparison 2'].deviation_label['Surface comparison 2.1']
coord = np.array(label.data.coordinate)
normal = np.array(label.data.normal)

x,  y,  z  = coord.reshape(-1)
nx, ny, nz = normal.reshape(-1)

gom.script.cad.show_element_exclusively (elements=gom.ElementSelection ({'category': ['key', 'elements', 'part', gom_part, 'explorer_category', 'nominal_part']}))
##nominal surface pt
nominal_surface_pt = gom.script.primitive.create_surface_point (
	name_expression='Point_from_label', 
	point={'interpolated': True, 'normal': gom.Vec3d (nx, ny, nz), 'point': gom.Vec3d (x,y,z), 'target': gom_part})

##make sure its attached to cad surface
gom.script.cad.adapt_elements_to_cad (
	elements=[nominal_surface_pt], 
	normal_from_cad=True, 
	position_from_cad=True)

##mp
MCAD_ELEMENT=gom.script.inspection.measure_by_intersection_with_mesh (
	elements=[nominal_surface_pt])
#check	
MCAD_ELEMENT=gom.script.inspection.inspect_dimension (
	csys=gom.app.project.nominal_elements['system_global_coordinate_system'], 
	elements=[nominal_surface_pt], 
	nominal_value=0.0, 
	nominal_value_source='fixed_value', 
	type='normal')

No, viceversa: I want to create a normal label deviation instead of a dn point check. But don't worry, I try to adapt you code for my situation. Thank you very much!

[[Ma...]]

But my problem is not to create the label, but put it in the correct position in the space, because my goal is to restore a view in the 3D view, create the label instead of the dn label, hide it and then overwrite the view in the report.

[[De...]]

ah, label position in 3d view. thats a tough one, you could prob use that apply selection function + label offset in 3d view to get the gom.Vec3d,  but i'm not sure theres a function to then set that attribute.

I tried 

for label in gom.ElementSelection ({'category': ['key', 'elements', 'part', gom_part, 'explorer_category', 'inspection', 'object_family', 'deviation_label', 'type', 'deviation_label_surface']}):
	gom.script.explorer.apply_selection(selection = [label]) 
	print(label.label_offset_in_3d_view)
	
	gom.script.sys.edit_properties (
		data=[label], 
		label_show=True,
		label_offset_in_3d_view = gom.Vec3d (5.29687008412543, 2.842170943040401e-14, -7.7582401624698605) )

which prints all the positions, but doesnt work for setting a new position. 
maybe throw em all to screen edge? 

 

[[Ma...]]

This is the code I use, but for some label it doesn't work. I don't know why. What command I can use to put them, if label offset is None, to the screen edge?

hmm, didnt know that was a function, (would be nice if we had a global list of these things somewhere) 

for labels on screen edge: 
gom.script.cad.set_label_distribution_mode (distribution_mode='border')

try and drop the s) from elements, and dont use a list. 

docstring is kinda confusing, 
try and just use the arguments (element & offset) 

print(gom.script.cad.set_label_position.__doc__)

cad.set_label_position (Move Label) - Move Label

Parameters:

Name       | Description                                               | Type                                   | Optional
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
element    | defines the name of the element                           | Tom::Reference                         | No      
elements   | defines the names of the elements                         | Tom::MCADCmd::Traits::ElementSelection | No      
position   | defines the position of the label                         | Core::Types::BaVec<2,double>           | No      
offset     | defines the 3d offset of the label                        | Core::Types::BaVec<3,double>           | No      
offsets    | defines the 3d offset of the label                        | QVariantList                           | No      
view_index | defines the index of the view, where the label gets moved | uint                                   | Yes    

position seems to be is in lieu of offset (?)- or atleast thats what the error said when I tried to use it. 

gom_part = gom.app.project.parts[0]
for label in gom.ElementSelection ({'category': ['key', 'elements', 'part', gom_part, 'explorer_category', 'inspection', 'object_family', 'deviation_label', 'type', 'deviation_label_surface']}):
	gom.script.explorer.apply_selection(selection = [label]) 
	print(label.label_offset_in_3d_view)
	
	
	gom.script.cad.set_label_position(
		element=label,
#		position = gom.Vec2d(15,25),
		offset=gom.Vec3d (20,-20,-20)
		)

^^seems to work like the 'justify label' button 

anyways, good luck!
