mapteksdk.data.primitives.block_properties module
Support for block primitives.
Block primitives are three dimensional cubes or rectangular prisms defined by a centroid and a block size. Given a block with centroid [0, 0, 0] and size [2, 4, 8] then the block will be the rectangular prism centred at [0, 0, 0] and 2 metres by 4 metres by 8 metres in size.
- class BlockProperties
Bases:
object
Mixin class which provides spatial object support for block primitives.
Functions and properties defined on this class are available on all classes which support blocks.
- is_read_only: bool
- property block_count: int
The count of blocks in the model.
- property block_resolution: BlockSize
The resolution of the block model.
The array [col_res, row_res and slice_res]. These are the same values as used to create the block model. Once the block model has been created, these values cannot be changed.
- property col_res: int
The number of columns of blocks in the model.
This is the col_res parameter passed into the constructor.
- property row_res: int
The number of rows of blocks in the model.
This is the row resolution (row_res) passed into the constructor.
- property slice_res: int
The number of slices of blocks in the model.
This is the slice resolution (slice_res) passed into the constructor.
- property block_centroids: PointArray
An array of the centre points of each block in the model.
This is an ndarray of shape (block_count, 3) of the form: [[x1, y1, z1], [x2, y2, z2], …, [xN, yN, zN]] where N is the block_count.
- property block_sizes: BlockSizeArray
An array of the sizes of each block in the model
This is represented as an ndarray of shape (block_count, 3). Each row represents the size of one block in the form [column_size, row_size, slice_size] where column_size, row_size and slice_size are positive numbers.
This means that the extent for the block with index i is calculated as: (block_centroids[i] - block_sizes[i] / 2, block_centroids[i] + block_sizes[i] / 2)
Notes
For DenseBlockModels, all block_sizes are the same.
- property block_colours: ColourArray
An array of the colours of each block in the model.
This is represented as a ndarray of shape (block_count, 4) where each row i represents the colour of the ith block in the model in the form [Red, Green, Blue, Alpha].
When setting block colours, you may omit the Alpha component.
- property slice_count: int
The number of slices in the block model.
This is the number of blocks in the Z direction of the block model’s coordinate system. Note that it only corresponds with the direction of the Z-axis if the block model is not rotated. This is the slice_count value passed to the constructor.
- property row_count: int
The number of rows in the block model.
This is the number of blocks in the Y direction of the block model’s coordinate system. Note that it only corresponds with the direction of the Y-axis if the block model is not rotated. This is the row_count value passed to the constructor.
- property column_count: int
The number of columns in the underlying block model.
This is the number of blocks in the X direction of the block model’s coordinate system. Note that it only corresponds with the direction of the X-axis if the block model is not rotated. This is the column_count value passed to the constructor.
- property col_count: int
Alias for column count.
This exists so that the property can be referred to by the same name as the argument in the constructor.
- property block_selection: BooleanArray
An array which indicates which blocks are selected.
This is represented as an ndarray of bools with shape: (block_count,). True indicates the block is selected; False indicates it is not selected.
Notes
In mapteksdk version 1.0, block_selection returned a 3D ndarray. To get the same functionality, see block_selection_3d property of dense block models.
- property block_visibility: BooleanArray
An array which indicates which blocks are visible.
This is represented as an ndarray of bools with shape: (block_count,). True indicates the block is visible, False indicates it is not visible.
Notes
In mapteksdk version 1.0 block_visibility returned a 3D ndarray. To get the same functionality, see block_visibility_3d property of dense block models.
- property origin: Point
The origin of the block model represented as a point.
Setting the origin will translate the entire block model to be centred around the new origin.
Warning
The origin is located in the centre of the block in the 0th row, 0th column and 0th slice. Thus the origin is offset by half a block relative to the bottom corner of the block model.
Notes
For DenseBlockModels the resulting changes to the block_centroids will not occur until save is called. For SubblockedBlockModels the resulting changes to the block_centroids are immediately available, however changing the origin of such a model is slower.
Examples
Changing the origin will change the block model centroids, in this case by translating them by 1 unit in the X direction, 2 units in the Y direction and 3 units in the Z direction. Note that as this is a DenseBlockModel, the model needs to be saved (in this case via closing ending the with block) before the changes to the centroids will occur.
>>> from mapteksdk.project import Project >>> from mapteksdk.data import DenseBlockModel >>> project = Project() >>> with project.new("blockmodels/model", DenseBlockModel( ... col_res=2, row_res=3, slice_res=4, ... col_count=2, row_count=2, slice_count=2)) as new_model: ... new_model.origin = [1, 2, 3] >>> with project.edit("blockmodels/model") as edit_model: ... print(edit_model.block_centroids) [[1, 2, 3], [3, 2, 3], [1, 5, 3], [3, 5, 3], [1, 2, 7], [3, 2, 7], [1, 5, 7], [3, 5, 7]]
- property block_to_grid_index: IndexArray
A mapping of the blocks to the primary blocks.
This is an ndarray with the int dtype containing the mapping of the blocks to the row, column and slice their centroid lies within. This has shape (N, 3) where N is the block_count and each item is of the form [column, row, slice].
This means that the column, row and slice of the block centred at block_centroids[i] is block_to_grid_index[i].
Notes
For DenseBlockModels, there is only one block per grid cell and thus each item of the array will be unique.
- grid_index(start, stop=None)
Index block properties via row, slice and column instead of index.
Generates a boolean index for accessing block properties by row, column and slice instead of by block. The boolean index will include all subblocks between primary block start (inclusive) and primary block stop (exclusive), or all subblocks within primary block start if stop is not specified.
- Parameters
start (npt.ArrayLike | int) – An array_like containing three elements - [column, row, slice]. The returned boolean index will include all blocks in a greater column, row and slice. If this is an integer, that integer is interpreted as the column, row and slice.
end – An array_like containing three elements - [column, row, slice]. If None (Default) this is start + 1 (The resulting index will contain all blocks within primary block start). If not None, the boolean index will include all blocks between start (inclusive) and end (exclusive). If this is an integer, that integer is interpreted as the column, row and slice index.
stop (npt.ArrayLike | int | None) –
- Returns
A boolean index into the block property arrays. This is an array of booleans of shape (block_count,). If element i is True then subblock i is within the range specified by start and stop. If False it is not within that range.
- Return type
ndarray
- Raises
TypeError – If start or stop are invalid types.
ValueError – If start or stop are incorrect shapes.
Examples
These examples require a block model to be at “blockmodels/target”
This example selects all subblocks within the primary block in column 0, row 0 and slice 0:
>>> from mapteksdk.project import Project >>> project = Project() >>> with project.edit("blockmodels/target") as edit_model: ... index = edit_model.grid_index([0, 0, 0]) ... edit_model.block_selection[index] = True
By passing two values to grid index, it is possible to operate on all subblocks within a range of subblocks. This example passes [0, 2, 2] and [4, 5, 6] meaning all subblocks which have 0 <= column < 4 and 2 <= row < 5 and 2 <= slice < 6 will be selected by grid_index. By passing this index to block visibility, all subblocks within those primary blocks are made invisible.
>>> from mapteksdk.project import Project >>> project = Project() >>> with project.edit("blockmodels/target") as edit_model: ... index = edit_model.grid_index([0, 2, 2], [4, 5, 6]) ... edit_model.block_visibility[index] = False
- convert_to_block_coordinates(world_coordinates)
Converts points in world coordinates to points in block coordinates.
The block coordinate system for a particular model is defined such that [0, 0, 0] is the centre of the block in row 0, column 0 and slice 0. The X axis is aligned with the columns, the Y axis is aligned with the rows and the Z axis is aligned with the slices of the model. This makes the centre of the primary block in column i, row j and slice k to be: [column_res * i, row_res * j, slice_res * k].
This function performs no error checking that the points lies within the model.

Does nothing if requested to delete a non-existent block.
- Parameters
index (int) – Index of the block to the delete. This index should be greater than or equal to 0 and less than block_count.
