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.
