RoutePathfinder.rebuild

RoutePathfinder.rebuild()

Builds the QComponent.

This is the main action function of a QComponent, call it qc. It converts the qc.options into QGeometry with all of the required options, such as the geometry points, layer number, materials, etc. needed to render.

The build clears the existing QGeometry and QPins and then calls the qc.make function, which is written by the component developer to implement the logic (using the metal. draw module) to convert the qc.options into the QGeometry.

Build status: The function also sets the build status of the component. It sets to failed when the component is created, and then it sets to good when it is done with no errors. The user can also set other statuses, which can appear if the code fails to reach the final line of the build, where the build status is set to good.

Raises:

Exception – Component build failure
