    creating multiple spheres on imported coordinates

    I don't know. I got spheres, but the diameter was the first non-zero number in the number I entered for the diameter. So 0.1 became 1 and 0.10 became 10. For the rest I didn't change anything, just ran your script.

    creating multiple spheres on imported coordinates

    Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem.

    creating multiple spheres on imported coordinates

    I tried to change the 'Double' entries to 'Decimal', but that doesn't seem to work. For example an entry of 1.5 for the diameter is seen as 15.

    creating multiple spheres on imported coordinates

    Yes, that did the trick. Thank you very much. One last question though. Doesn't the script work with decimal numbers? My box has dimensions 1x1x1 mm and I want my spheres to be 0.05 mm. However when I enter that into the script the spheres get diameter 5 mm, so it doesn't seem to read the...

    creating multiple spheres on imported coordinates

    @FrankSwinkels your script gives me some errors when I run it. I don't know if there is anything that I should change to make it work with my file. The errors I get are: Dim nullFeatures_Sphere As Features.Sphere = Nothing >>Type 'Features.Sphere' is not defined Dim sphereBuilder1 As...

    creating multiple spheres on imported coordinates

    I want to analyse the mechanical behavior of a polymer matrix filled with filler particles. When the material is created for experiments the fillers will be randomly distributed throughout the matrix. Therefore the spheres have to be randomly distributed in the model as well. Sander

    creating multiple spheres on imported coordinates

    I'll give it a try, I'm not really experienced with Unigraphics. Thanks for the help so far. Sander

    creating multiple spheres on imported coordinates

    I have a box filled with (randomly generated) points. On these points i want to create spheres with a constant radius. I can do so by the 'create a sphere' method, but I can't select more than one point. Since I have over a hundred points in my box it is going to be time consuming to add all the...
