trimesh.units

units.py

Deal with physical unit systems (i.e. inches, mm)

Very basic conversions, and no requirement for sympy.physics.units or pint.

trimesh.units.unit_conversion(current, desired)

Calculate the conversion from one set of units to another.

Parameters

• current (str) – Unit system values are in now (eg ‘millimeters’)

• desired (str) – Unit system we’d like values in (eg ‘inches’)

Returns

conversion – Number to multiply by to put values into desired units

Return type

float

trimesh.units.units_from_metadata(obj, guess=True)

Try to extract hints from metadata and if that fails guess based on the object scale.

Parameters

• obj (object) – Has attributes ‘metadata’ (dict) and ‘scale’ (float)

• guess (bool) – If metadata doesn’t indicate units, guess from scale

Returns

units – A guess of what the units might be

Return type

str
