SceneItem.ApplyEnvelope

Description

Applies a flexible envelope to the object(s) specified.

Note: You can apply envelopes to several different types of X3DObjects (for example, either nurbs or mesh 3D objects). However, the only type of Cluster that you can use apply an envelope to is the vertex (point) cluster type (siVertexCluster).

C# Syntax

Envelope SceneItem.ApplyEnvelope( Object in_pDeformers, siBranchFlag in_eDeformOnBranch, siBranchFlag in_eEnvelopeOnBranch );

Scripting Syntax

oReturn = SceneItem.ApplyEnvelope( Deformers, [DeformOnBranch], [EnvelopeOnBranch] );

Return Value

Envelope

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Deformers	SceneItemCollection, SceneItem object, or an Expression	Object(s) to be assigned as envelope deformers.
DeformOnBranch	siBranchFlag	Use all objects in deformers branch Default Value: siUnspecified
EnvelopeOnBranch	siBranchFlag	Apply envelope to all objects in the SceneItem's branch Default Value: siUnspecified
