Usefull operations

Export to json file

You can export any design3d objects to a json file. To do so, you can just call the method save_to_file.

Here is an example how you can save a plan face 3d to a .json file:

import design3d
from design3d import surfaces, faces

face = faces.PlaneFace3D.from_surface_rectangular_cut(surfaces.Plane3D(design3d.OXYZ), -1, 1, -1, 1)
face.save_to_file('path/to/where/to/save/your/file.json')

Import from json file

If you have a json file containing design3d objects, you can use the method dessia_common.core.DessiaObect.from_json to import it.

Example:

import dessia_common

design3d_object = dessia_common.core.DessiaObject.from_json('path/to/your/file.json')

Matplotlib plots

To have a matplotlib visualization of a design3d object in 2D or 3D, you can call the plot method in any object. See the following example

import design3d
from design3d import edges
from design3d.core import EdgeStyle

line_segment2d = edges.LineSegment2D(design3d.Point2D(1, 1), design3d.Point2D(-1, -2))
line_segment2d.plot(edge_style=EdgeStyle('b'))

Model Visualization

To have a 3D visulaization of your model, most of the 3d objects has a babylonjs() method, which you can use to do so. Babylon.js is an open-source, JavaScript framework and engine for creating and rendering 3D graphics and games in web browsers. Here is an example on how you can do it.

import design3d
from design3d import primitives3d

block = primitives3d.Block(design3d.OXYZ, color=(1, 0.1, 0.1), alpha=0.6)
block.babylonjs()
