Description

A facet is a generic object used to access a PolygonMesh's PolygonFace and a NurbsSurfaceMesh's NurbsSurface. Having a generic object allows you to write code to traverse an object's geometry without resorting to special case handling for specific geometry types.

Tip: To work with the more specific geometry types, you can use the Facet.SubComponent property which returns a SubComponent object. The SubComponent allows you to access the PolygonFaceCollection and NurbsSurfaceCollection via the SubComponent.ComponentCollection property.

VBScript Example

    set oRoot = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
    set oCube = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Cube", "MeshSurface" )
    set oGeometry = oCube.ActivePrimitive.Geometry
    set oFacets = oGeometry.Facets
    LogMessage typename(oFacets)
    for each oFacet in oFacets
       for each oSegment in oFacet.Segments
           LogMessage "Facet.Segment.Index " & oSegment.Index
