Grids may be rectangular (typically perpendicular lines), radial (where one set of axes is a circle and the other is a line), or triangular (three sets of axes, each at a different angle to one another). For a simple rectangular grid, the "UAxes" are a set of one or more horizontal axes, which are typically labeled with the convention of A, B, C, etc. The "VAxes" is another set of one or more vertical axes, typically labeled with the convention of 1, 2, 3, etc. These axes are horizontal or vertical relative to project north. For a radial grid, the "UAxes" are straight lines, typically radiating from a central point. The "VAxes" are circular perimeters, with the center of these circles being the same central point. For a triangular grid, the UAxes, VAxes, and WAxes are all sets of one or more straight lines. :param axis_tag: The name of the axis, that would typically be labeled on drawings or described on site during coordination, such as A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, etc. Defaults to "A". :type axis_tag: str, optional :param same_sense: Determines whether the direction of the axis's line is reversed. True means the direction the geometry is defined in represents the direction of the axis. False means the direction is reversed. Leave as True if unsure. Defaults to "True". :type same_sense: bool, optional :param uvw_axes: Choose from "UAxes", "VAxes" or "WAxes" depending on which set of axes the new axis you are adding should belong to. Defaults to "UAxes". :type uvw_axes: str, optional :param grid: The IfcGrid you are adding the axis to. :type grid: ifcopenshell.entity_instance :return: The newly created IfcGridAxis :rtype: ifcopenshell.entity_instance Example: # A pretty standard rectangular grid, with only two axes. grid = ifcopenshell.api.run("root.create_entity", model, ifc_class="IfcGrid") axis_a = ifcopenshell.api.run("grid.create_grid_axis", model, axis_tag="A", uvw_axes="UAxes", grid=grid) axis_1 = ifcopenshell.api.run("grid.create_grid_axis", model, axis_tag="1", uvw_axes="VAxes", grid=grid) """ self.file = file self.settings = { "axis_tag": axis_tag or "A", "same_sense": same_sense or True, "uvw_axes": uvw_axes or "UAxes", # Choose which axes "grid": grid, } def execute(self): element = self.file.create_entity( "IfcGridAxis", **{"AxisTag": self.settings["axis_tag"], "SameSense": self.settings["same_sense"]} ) axes = list(getattr(self.settings["grid"], self.settings["uvw_axes"]) or []) axes.append(element) setattr(self.settings["grid"], self.settings["uvw_axes"], axes) return element
