I am dabbling with using the FreeCAD BIM Workbench to generate geometry for the .OSM file. FreeCAD is very powerful and has built-in Python capability. At this point, I can generate some simple spaces. However, I'd like to check adjacent surfaces and am running into a problem transferring the boost::optional approach from Ruby to Python. In Ruby, I would do the following (more or less, I am not in Ruby right now):
model.getSurfaces().each do |surface|
adjacent_surface = surface.adjacentSurface()
unless adjacent_surface.empty? then
puts surface.name
puts adjacent_surface.get.name
end
end
With this, I would obtain just the names (simple strings) of surface and adjacent_surface, as desired.
In Python, I am trying the following:
for surface in model.getSurfaces():
adjacent_surface = surface.adjacentSurface()
if adjacent_surface is not None:
print(surface.name)
print(adjacent_surface.get.name)
But the "get.name" part in the last line results in this error: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'name'. And if I use just "get", the following is an example output:
<bound method IdfObject.name of <openstudio.openstudiomodelgeometry.Surface; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'std::vector< openstudio::model::Surface >::value_type *' at 0x7fea7ab0f870> >>
<bound method OptionalSurface.get of <openstudio.openstudiomodelgeometry.OptionalSurface; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'openstudio::model::OptionalSurface *' at 0x7fea66d46630> >>
That is to say, not even non-boost::optional surface shows the name. Both it and boost::optional adjacent_surface just show what appears to be a type or class specification. How can I get the simple name strings here?
