PlaneCollection Class¶

class NXOpen.PlaneCollection¶

Bases: object

Represents a collection of NXOpen.Plane.

Iterating this collection only returns live uncondemned objects contained in the owning part of the collection. Note that NXOpen.Plane is a smart object and many smart objects are condemned as they only exist to support other objects and are not displayed. Condemned objects will be deleted when their references go away. To obtain an instance of this class, refer to NXOpen.BasePart

New in version NX4.0.0.
