Filter.ByAngleBetweenAxes Returns the nodes in which certain axes of the Nth and Mth structure data elements in the node form an angle between X and Y, where N, M, X, Y and the axes are specified by the user. |
node The input connection node(s). indexFirst The zero-based index of the first element to be compared. indexSecond The zero-based index of the second element to be compared. axisFirst The reference axis of the first structure data element (it can be X, Y or Z, specified as case insensitive string). axisSecond The reference axis of the second structure data element (it can be X, Y or Z, specified as case insensitive string). rangeStart A value between 0 and 90 degrees, representing the start of the desired range. rangeEnd A value between 0 and 90 degrees, representing the end of the desired range. |
accepted The nodes that pass the filter. rejected The nodes that do not pass the filter. |
|
Filter.ByAngleBetweenBeams Like the ByAngleBetweenAxes node, the difference being that the Filter.ByAngleBetweenBeams node only measures the angle between the X axes, and for the case where the structural elements meet end to end, the angle can be between 0 and 180 degrees instead of between 0 and 90 degrees. |
node The input connection node or nodes. indexFirst The zero-based index of the first structure data element to be compared. indexSecond The zero-based index of the second structure data element to be compared. rangeStart A value between 0 and 180 degrees, representing the start of the desired range. rangeEnd A value between 0 and 180 degrees, representing the end of the desired range. |
accepted The nodes that pass the filter. rejected The nodes that do not pass the filter. |
|
Filter.BySectionProfile Returns the nodes in which the structure data element at an index has a certain section profile. |
node The input connection node or nodes. index The zero-based index of the structure data element to be compared. profileToFind The profile that the structure data element must have to pass the filter. |
accepted The nodes that pass the filter. rejected The nodes that do not pass the filter. |
|
Filter.BySectionShape Returns the nodes in which the structure data element at an index has a certain section shape. |
node The input connection node or nodes. index The zero-based index of the structure data element to be compared. shapeToFind The shape that the structure data element must have to pass the filter. |

accepted The nodes that pass the filter. rejected The nodes that do not pass the filter. |
|
Filter.BySlantAngle Returns the nodes in which the structure data element at a certain index has a certain slant angle (angle between the axis of the element and the vertical axis). |
node The input connection node or nodes. index The zero-based index of the structure data element to be compared. rangeStart A value between 0 and 90 degrees, representing the start of the desired range. rangeEnd A value between 0 and 90 degrees, representing the end of the desired range. |
accepted The nodes that pass the filter. rejected The nodes that do not pass the filter. |
|
Filter.BySlopeAngle Returns the nodes in which the structure data element at a certain index has a certain slope angle (angle between the axis of the element and the horizontal plane). |
node The input connection node or nodes. index The zero-based index of the structure data element to be compared. rangeStart A value between 0 and 90 degrees, representing the start of the desired range. rangeEnd A value between 0 and 90 degrees, representing the end of the desired range. |
accepted The nodes that pass the filter. rejected The nodes that do not pass the filter. |
|
