Model

class pyslm.geometry.Model(mid=0)

Bases: object

A Model represents a parametric group or in practice a part which contains a set unique and assignable BuildStyle used a specific LayerGeometry. The buildstyles are stored in buildStyles.

Each Model must have a unique model id (mid). Additionally, for some build formats, the top layer id ( topLayerId) should correspond Layer.id value of the last layer’s LayerGeometry that uses this Model. It is recommended that ModelValidator should be used to verify that all Models have a unique model-id and that the correct topLayerId is set, using the following methods

pyslm.geometry.ModelValidator.validateModel(model)

or

models = [modelA, modelB]
pyslm.geometry.ModelValidator.validateBuild(models, layer_list)

Additional generic metadata can be stored for reference and describing the Model that are not necessarily used when exporting to build file including

• name - Name of the Model

• buildStyleName - Name of the Build Style Used for this Model (e.g. parameter set)

• buildStyleDescription- Description of the Model Build Style set.
