Slices a part at a plane called "Slice".
*Edit line 2 in the script to reflect the directory path to your part and the part name.
# open part, replace with your own path P = Part(r'C:\Users\Brian\Desktop\ScriptDir', 'New2') # get bounding box of part - eight points, one for each corner # of the bounding box Bounds = P.GetBoundingBox() # get the plane that the part will be sliced on SlicePlane = P.GetPlane('Slice') # create a sketch on the slicing plane S = P.AddSketch('SliceSketch', SlicePlane) # empty list Proj = [] # for each corner of the part bounding box, map that 3D point into # a 2D point on the sketch # this doesn't create the points in the sketch, but is only a mathematical # operation for i in range(0, 8): Proj.append(S.GlobaltoPoint(Bounds[i][0], Bounds[i][1], Bounds[i][2])) # go through the eight 2D points and find the maximum and minimum # X and Y values MaxX = Proj[0][0] for i in range (0, 8): if Proj[i][0] >= MaxX : MaxX = Proj[i][0] MaxY = Proj[0][1] for i in range (0, 8): if Proj[i][1] >= MaxY : MaxY = Proj[i][1] MinX = Proj[0][0] for i in range (0, 8): if Proj[i][0] < MinX : MinX = Proj[i][0] MinY = Proj[0][1] for i in range (0, 8): if Proj[i][1] < MinY : MinY = Proj[i][1] # draw a rectangle on the sketch which will cover the entire part when viewed # perpendicular to the slicing plane S.AddRectangle(MinX, MinY, MaxX, MaxY, False) # cut the part using the rectangle P.AddExtrudeCut('Cut', S, 100, False)
