Get Joined elements acting wrong.

[claudiubrb]

I must be doing something wrong. The script below should do the following :

1. Identify which elements are grouped together
2. assign to user attribute 25
3. continue to the next set of grouped elements and assign them a number.

The issue I'm having is that when I have multiple groups some elements get missed. And it's not even consistent , it one case when I should have 25 groups I'm missing a beam element from a group , while If I have 2-3 groups containing the same beam I'm missing a drilling from that group.

import element_controller as ec
import attribute_controller as ac
import utility_controller as uc

Retrieve all visible elements

elements = ec.get_visible_identifiable_element_ids()

if not elements:
uc.print_error("No elements found")
exit()

Dictionary to track assigned numbers

group_mapping = {}
group_counter = 1

Set to track processed elements

processed_elements = set()

Iterate through elements

for element in elements:
if element in processed_elements:
continue

# Get joined elements for the current element
joined_group = ec.get_joined_elements(element)

if not joined_group:
    joined_group = [element]

# Check if any element in the joined group is already assigned
assigned_number = None
for joined_element in joined_group:
    if joined_element in group_mapping:
        assigned_number = group_mapping[joined_element]
        break

# If no number is assigned, use a new number
if assigned_number is None:
    assigned_number = group_counter
    group_counter += 1

# Assign the same attribute value to all joined elements
for joined_element in joined_group:
    group_mapping[joined_element] = assigned_number
    ac.set_user_attribute([joined_element], 25, str(assigned_number))
    processed_elements.add(joined_element)

uc.print_error("Joined elements have been grouped and assigned numbers")

can someone please assist.

visited_elements = set()

    joined_elements = ec.get_joined_elements(element)
    attributes_dict[element] = list()

    for joined_element in joined_elements:
        if joined_element in visited_elements:
            continue

    attributes_dict[element].extend(joined_elements)



[vc.set_color(elements, index) for index, elements in enumerate(attributes_dict.values())]
[ac.set_group(elements, str(index)) for index, elements in enumerate(attributes_dict.values())]

if you still face that issue, please attach a 3d example file.

Hi Brunner,

Thanks for your help. it was an improvement but I still get similar results. one of the elements got a different colour to the other elements of the same joined set.

@claudiubrb this will be fixed from build >255 in version 2025
