Scale a blockref on insertion

[schoeller]

One has created a block from main() as follows:

def createSectionBlock(db : Db.Database, name : str, ents: list[Db.Entity]):
    bt = Db.BlockTable(db.blockTableId(), Db.OpenMode.kForWrite)
    btr = Db.BlockTableRecord()
    btr.setName(name)
    btrid = bt.add(btr)
    btr.appendAcDbEntities(ents)
    return btrid

@Ap.Command()
...
        section_geo = []
        for _items in sec.generateSectionGeometry(ent):
            for item in _items:
                section_geo.append(item.getTransformedCopy(mat))
        blkid = createSectionBlock(db, str(sec.getHandle()), section_geo)
...

Then if one wants to scale the block reference on insertion one could add another funtion:

def insertBlockRef(db: Db.Database, btrid: Db.ObjectId, coords: Ge.Point3d, scale: Ge.Scale3d):
    blockRef = Db.BlockReference(coords, btrid)
    blockRef.setScaleFactors(scale)
    model = Db.BlockTableRecord(db.modelSpaceId(), Db.OpenMode.kForWrite)
    blockRefId = model.appendAcDbEntity(blockRef)
    return blockRefId

and in main() one could then call after closing the block table.

        brefid = insertBlockRef(db, blkid, Ge.Point3d(2,2,0), Ge.Scale3d(4., .5, 1.))

Zero values in Scale3d are not permitted by default
