Hi, guys

I'm facing a difficulty:
In Spaceclaim, I created 424 faces in Sketch Mode in STL file because I want to measure the cross-sectional area and the perimeter of each face. And I wanted to write a script to make it measure automatically. However, there was an error message which is " 'Body' object has no attribute 'Perimeter' " when I tried to run the code to measure perimeter.

Here is my code below:
selection=FaceSelection.FilterByVisible(FaceSelect ion.SelectAll())
perimeter =list (face.Shape.Perimeter for face in selection.Items)
print(perimeter)

Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance,

Joean.

You can loop through all the faces, select each edge of each face, then sum the length of each of those edges. You can do this first in the UI for an example edge while using the macro creation feature to see how it looks in the SpaceClaim API.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.
That's a good idea that selects each edge of each face, and I will try later.
I've figured out another way to solve this problem.

Here is the modified code:
selection = FaceSelection.Create([GetRootPart().Bodies[0].Faces[0],
GetRootPart().Bodies[1].Faces[0],
GetRootPart().Bodies[2].Faces[0],
GetRootPart().Bodies[3].Faces[0],
...
GetRootPart().Bodies[423].Faces[0]])
perimeter =list(face.Shape.Perimeter for face in selection.Items)
print(perimeter)
