Multi Translation


To produce a Multi Translation in the Main Menu select Operations - > Transformation - > Multi Translation


This operation makes several translations of a shape in one or two directions.
The Result will be one GEOM_Object (compound). The total number of shape copies in the resulting compound will be equal to:

  • in case of Simple multi translation: NbTimes (if NbTimes parameter is equal to 1, the result will contain only the initial non-translated shape).
  • in case of Double multi translation: NbTimes1 x NbTimes2 (if NbTimes1 and NbTimes2 parameters are both equal to 1, the result will contain a single non-translated initial shape).

In case of Simple Multi Translation the object is translated in one direction.

The following parameters and options can be defined in this dialog:

  • Result Name;
  • Main Object to be translated;
  • Vector of translation (DX by default). If a curve has been selected instead of the Vector, only its first and last vertices will be used to get the vector direction and the dialog preview will display the vector along which the object will be translated;
  • Step is the distance between the shape copies;
  • Nb. Times is the number of shape copies;
  • Reverse Direction checkbox allows changing the direction of translation;
  • Advanced options.

TUI Command: geompy.MakeMultiTranslation1D(Shape, Dir, Step, NbTimes)
Arguments: Name + 1 shape + 1 vector (for direction) + 1 step value + 1 value (repetition).

In case of Double Multi Translation the object is translated in two directions.

The following parameters and options can be defined in this dialog:

  • Result Name;
  • Main Object to be translated;
  • Vector U/V of translation (DX and DY by default). If a curve has been selected instead of the Vector, only its first and last vertices will be used to get the vector direction and the dialog preview will display the vector along which the object will be translated;
  • Step U/V is the distance between the shape copies;
  • Nb. Times U/V is the number of shape copies;
  • Reverse U/V checkbox allows changing the direction of translation;
  • Advanced options.

The result of a double multi-translation


TUI Command: geompy.MakeMultiTranslation2D(Shape, Dir1, Step1, NbTimes1, Dir2, Step2, NbTimes2), where Shape is a shape to be translated, Dir1 is the first direction of translation, Step1 of the first translation, NbTimes1 is a number of translations to be done along Dir1, Dir2 is the second direction of translation, Step2 of the second translation, NbTimes2 is a number of translations to be done along Dir2.
Arguments: Name + 1 shape + 2 vectors defining the direction

  • 2 step values + 2 values (repetitions).

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of the use of Transformation Operations.
