How do i get the centroid coordinate details of the Bodies, faces, and edges by using PyGemetry

[raj366v]

can some one suggest me how do i get the centroid of the particular object in my geometry
like centroid of the particular body, face and edge
i would like to know the x,y,z coordinate points by using PyGeometry module.
any suggestions..

Hi @raj366v - from a generic perspective, this is currently not possible. However, there are workarounds one can try to implement. From a body perspective, if you retrieve the various faces, you can request the face.shape property for each of them. Now, inside shape you also have access to the bbox property (i.e. the bounding box) and finally you could request for the center of that bounding box. Finally, you could approximate by taking all face centers and averaging them.

Finall call to get the center of a face:

center_param = face.shape.box_uv.get_center()
centroid = face.shape.geometry.evaluate_proportion(center_param.u, center_param.v).position

Nonetheless, we will take note of this request and try to address it natively

Hi @RobPasMue Thanks for your quick response, i was able to get center of the faces by using "face_point()" function. but for bodies and edges not able to get the centroid points..

Thanks for the feedback @raj366v. We are working on exposing it currently... but it won't be available sooner than 25R2. Sorry for the inconveniences!
