AssembleNurbsMes h

Description

Assembles surfaces into a surface mesh.

Scripting Syntax

    AssembleNurbsMesh( InputObj, [Tolerance], [CopyUserCluster], [CopyMaterial], [CenterGeomCenter] )

Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
InputObj | String | List of nurbs surfaces. Default Value: Currently selected objects
Tolerance | Double | Tolerance (a value between 0.0 to 1.0) for building topology. Used to check if two points can be treated as equal. Default Value: 0.15
CopyUserCluster | Boolean | True to copy clusters. Default Value: False
CopyMaterial | Boolean | True to copy materials and textures. Default Value: False
CenterGeomCenter | Boolean | True to move the center to the geometric center. Default Value: True
