Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Move") to move geometry objects.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Copy") to move a copy of geometry objects.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the objects to move or copy. The default selection is empty.

The following properties are available:

Table 3-114: Valid Properties for Move and Copy.
Name	Value	Default	Description
color	none \| custom \| integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme	none	The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult in active.
contributeto	String	none	Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.
customcolor	RGB-triplet	Next available theme color	The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
displx	double[]	0	x displacement. Used when specify is displ.
disply	double[]	0	y displacement. Used when specify is displ.
displz	double[]	0	z displacement. Used when specify is displ.
newpos	vertices \| coord	vertices	The new (destination) position. Used when specify is pos.
newposvertices	Selection		Vertices to move to. Used when newpos is vertices.
newposx	double[]	0	x-coordinates of new positions. Used when newpos is coord.
newposy	double[]	0	y-coordinates of new positions. Used when newpos is coord.
newposz	double[]	0	z-coordinates of new positions. Used when newpos is coord.
oldpos	vertex \| coord	vertex	The old (original) position. Used when specify is pos.
oldposvertex	Selection		Vertex to move to. Used when oldpos is vertex.
oldposcoord	double[sdim]	0	Coordinates of old position. Used when oldpos is coord.
propagatesel	on \| off	on	Propagate selections from input objects to resulting objects.
selresult	on \| off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all \| obj \| dom \| bnd \| edg \| pnt \| off	dom	Show selections, if selresult is on, of resulting objects in physics, materials, and so on, or in part instances. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
specify	displ \| pos	displ	Specify displacement vector or positions.
workplanesrc	this \| part-instance feature	this	Part-instance feature to take the work plane from (in 3D only).
workplane	xyplane \| work-plane feature	xyplane	Work-plane feature that defines the coordinate system (in 3D only). The default, xyplane, is the global Cartesian coordinate system.

Table 3-114: Valid Properties for Move and Copy.

none | custom | integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme

none

The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult in active.

contributeto

String

none

Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.

customcolor

RGB-triplet

Next available theme color

The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.

displx

double[]

x displacement. Used when specify is displ.

disply

double[]

y displacement. Used when specify is displ.

displz

double[]

z displacement. Used when specify is displ.

newpos

vertices | coord

vertices

The new (destination) position. Used when specify is pos.

newposvertices

Selection

Vertices to move to. Used when newpos is vertices.

newposx

double[]

x-coordinates of new positions. Used when newpos is coord.

newposy

double[]

y-coordinates of new positions. Used when newpos is coord.

newposz

double[]

z-coordinates of new positions. Used when newpos is coord.

oldpos

vertex | coord

vertex

The old (original) position. Used when specify is pos.

oldposvertex

Selection

Vertex to move to. Used when oldpos is vertex.

oldposcoord

double[sdim]

Coordinates of old position. Used when oldpos is coord.

propagatesel

on | off

Propagate selections from input objects to resulting objects.

selresult

on | off

off

Create selections of all resulting objects.

selresultshow

all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off

dom

Show selections, if selresult is on, of resulting objects in physics, materials, and so on, or in part instances. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.

specify

displ | pos

displ

Specify displacement vector or positions.

workplanesrc

this | part-instance feature

this

Part-instance feature to take the work plane from (in 3D only).

workplane

xyplane | work-plane feature

xyplane

Work-plane feature that defines the coordinate system (in 3D only). The default, xyplane, is the global Cartesian coordinate system.

If displ is a one-dimensional array, a single copy of each input object is created using the translation vector displ. If displ is a two-dimensional array, several copies can be created, where the nth copy has translation displ[i][n] in the ith coordinate.

Table 3-115: Valid attributes
Name	Value	Default	Description
construction	on \| off \| inherit	inherit	Designate the resulting objects as construction geometry. Use inherit to set the construction geometry attribute only if all input objects are construction geometry.

Table 3-115: Valid attributes

on | off | inherit

Designate the resulting objects as construction geometry. Use inherit to set the construction geometry attribute only if all input objects are construction geometry.
