Move bodies to root part and delete empty components

[Indrajeetrt]

Hello There,

Good day!!!

I am facing some problems with moving all the bodies to root components from subcomponents.

I usually do it with space claim scripting, below are lines of code I use:

"
selections = Selection.Create(GetRootPart().GetAllBodies())
component = PartSelection.Create(GetRootPart())
result = ComponentHelper.MoveBodiesToComponent(selections, component, False)
selection = PartSelection.Create(GetRootPart())
ComponentHelper.DeleteEmptyComponents(selection, None)
"

this I want using pygeometry and I don't want to run discovery script as it is taking more time.

Thank you

Hi @Indrajeetrt! I don't think we have a "transfer" or "move component/bodies" API currently (please confirm if possible @jacobrkerstetter @jonahrb @b-matteo)

However, we do have a body.copy() method that would allow you to move your bodies from Component A to Component B. You just need to do the following

# Copy body_a under comp_b
body_a.copy(parent=comp_b)

# Delete body_a from comp_a
comp_a.delete_body(body_a)

# Or if you want to delete comp_a from the design directly
design.delete_component(comp_a)

Hope this helps!

That is correct. We do not have the API for moving or transferring bodies/components. If the copy method is not what you're looking for, let us know.
