Description

This tool upgrades selected objects in different ways. If no object is selected, you will be invited to select one.

How to use

Select one or more objects you wish to upgrade
Press the Draft Upgrade button or press U then P keys

Options

The selected objects are modified/upgraded according to the following conditions (in order):

if there are more than one face in the selection, the faces are merged (union)
if there is only one face in the selection, nothing is done
if there is only one open wire in the selection, it gets closed
if there are only edges in the selection, all edges are joined into a wire (closed if possible)
if none of the above is possible, a compound object is created

Scripting

The upgrade tool can be used from python scripts and macros like this:

 Draft.upgrade(objects, delete=False, force=None)

Upgrades the given object(s) (can be an object or a list of objects).
If delete is True, old objects are deleted.
The force attribute can be used to force a certain way of upgrading. It can be: makeCompound, closeGroupWires, makeSolid, closeWire, turnToParts, makeFusion, makeShell, makeFaces, draftify, joinFaces, makeSketchFace, makeWires
Returns a dictionnary containing two lists, a list of new objects and a list of objects to be deleted

Some of the operations of the Upgrade tool can also be made with the Part Fuse or Draft Wire tools.

Example:

import Draft
mycircle = Draft.makeCircle(2)
face1 = Draft.upgrade([mycircle],True)
