Obj_id not defined

Scripting
1

Hi all. I do want to modify a python script that I am using to rotate parts into Rhino and I do want to also add an alignment operation into the same script. The last two lines of code (bb=rs.BoundingBox(obj_id)) are introduced from another script that I do use to align the top of my parts to the XY zero level. It is working as expected, the only issue I do face it is one error message that I do get every time I do run the script: name 'obj_id' is not defined

I barely know some basic Python and I can’t find a way how to fix this error.

Best regards.

obj_id is not defined in the scope of the code you’re using it as a variable. it is defined inside the def but not outside it. in python, the variables defined inside a function are not available outside it

And do you have any idea how I can make this script to work without errors? Because it is working as it is, the only issue it is the error. How I can take the selected objects from the above function and pass-it into the last two lines of code?

i’m gonna make a guess here, because i’m not too sure about the exact functionality you’re looking for

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import Rhino

def GetObjTopGroups(obj_ids):
    groups=set([rs.ObjectTopGroup(obj_id) for obj_id in obj_ids])
    return groups

def RotateObjsPlusGroupsAroundBBCtrAxis(deg,axis):
    msg="Select objects to rotate {} deg.".format(deg)
    obj_ids=rs.GetObjects(msg,preselect=True)
    if not obj_ids: return
    
    non_grouped=[]
    groups=set()
    for obj_id in obj_ids:
        otg=rs.ObjectTopGroup(obj_id)
        if not otg:
            non_grouped.append(obj_id)
        else:
            groups.add(otg)
            
    rs.EnableRedraw(False)
    
    if groups:
        for group in groups:
            group_objs=rs.ObjectsByGroup(group)
            bb=rs.BoundingBox(group_objs)
            xform=rs.XformRotation2(deg,axis,(bb[0]+bb[6])/2)
            rs.TransformObjects(group_objs,xform)
            rs.MoveObject(obj_id,rs.coerce3dvector([0,0,-bb[4][2]])) ##

    if non_grouped:
        for obj_id in non_grouped:
            bb=rs.BoundingBox(obj_id)
            if bb:
                xform=rs.XformRotation2(deg,axis,(bb[0]+bb[6])/2)
                rs.TransformObject(obj_id,xform)
                rs.MoveObject(obj_id,rs.coerce3dvector([0,0,-bb[4][2]])) ##

RotateObjsPlusGroupsAroundBBCtrAxis(90,Rhino.Geometry.Vector3d.XAxis)

i moved the MoveObject inside the def

Unfortunately it is not working. I do need to align the parts top to XY zero plane after I do rotate the objects.

Looks like this it is working:

obj_ids=rs.GetObjects(preselect=True)
bb=rs.BoundingBox(obj_ids)
if bb: rs.MoveObject(obj_ids,rs.coerce3dvector([0,0,-bb[4][2]]))

I just copied the obj_ids=rs.GetObjects(preselect=True) from the beginning of the script. The only drawback it is that now I do need to have the objects preselected before running the script.
