Mesh Export Python Error

[[Kr...]]

Hello,

I keep getting this error when trying to export a file. In this case a mesh. 

Below is the script. 

gom.script.sys.export_stl (
	bgr_coding=False, 
	binary=True, 
	color=False, 
	elements=gom.ElementSelection ({'category': ['key', 'elements', 'part', gom.app.project.parts['Part'], 'explorer_category', 'actual_part']}), 
	export_in_one_file=True, 
	export_stages_mode='current', 
	file=gom.app.project.name + 'Example', 
	length_unit='default', 
	set_stl_color_bit=False)

I'm trying to get the mesh to export to the same folder location as the currently opening project. This works in some projects but not others. 

Any input is greatly appreciated as always. 

Many thanks 

Kris

Hi,

using 

gom.app.project.name

will only give you the projects file name. It comes without any path information.
Try using 

gom.app.project.project_file

instead and create your export file name from there.

Best,

Lorenz

Try this as an export file name, for example:

gom.app.project.project_file[0:gom.app.project.project_file.rfind(gom.app.project.project_name)] + gom.app.project.project_name + '.stl'

other guess /observation would be if the file name you end up with is too long for Windows.

Good Morning Gents, 

I will give the following a try and see if it works.

I did however find a work around by adapting another script I found on this forum. It required importing of path lib and some project keyword set up. Probably a bit long winded compared to the above but it seems to work. I've attached a link below for future reference or in case anyone else is interesting.  

Many Thanks Again
