Description
If you have applied e.g. a Part Slice operation you have split an object into several pieces. The CompoundFilter can be used to access the individual pieces.
How to use
- Select the sliced object
- Apply Menu->Part->Compound->CompoundFilter
- Select the CompoundFilterObject in the tree
- In the properties tab set "Filter Type" to "specific items"
- Set items to the elements you want to extract
- For a single piece this is a number starting with 0, i.e. if you want to extract the first element enter 0 in this field, 1 for the next element ...
- If you want to extract more than one piece at a time separate the numbers with ";", e.g. a value of "0;2" will extract the first and the third element
- If you want to extract a range enter the number of the first element followed by ":" and the number of elements in the range. If you want to extract the third element (with the number 2) the fourth, fifth and sixth you enter "2:4".
- If you want to extract another piece select the sliced object again. It is now placed under the CompoundFilter in the tree
- Repeat the selection procedure from above. The slice and its subelements will be displayed under both CompoundFilters; they are, of course not repeated in the model.
Properties
- DataBase: Object to be filtered.
- DataFilter Type selectable options:
- bypass
- specific items; extract the items listed in the "items" property
- collision-pass
- window-volume; extract all pieces which have a volume between "Window From" and "Window To" where 100% is the biggest piece - and not the unsliced object
- window-area; the same as window-volume where the sliced area determines the selection instead of the volume
- window-length; the same as window-volume where the length of the pieces determines the selection instead of the volume
- window-
- DataInvert: If set to true the list as described above is excluded instead of included.
- DataMax Val: The threshold for the window-properties if it is not 100%.
- DataStencil:
- DataWindow From: Upper threshold percentage for selecting pieces, 100% is relative to the biggest piece.
- DataWindow To: Lower threshold percentage for selecting pieces, 100% is relative to the biggest piece.
- Dataitems: List or range of elements to be selected if Filter Type is "specific items".
