Parameters
|
Parameter |
Type |
Description |
|
InputObj |
Mesh holding the polygon being built |
|
|
EdgeID |
ID of the target edge to connect with Possible Values: • 0<=i<N: index of the edge in the mesh |
|
|
InsertPosition |
Ordinal of the vertex where to insert the new edge in the polygon Default Value: 0 Possible Values: • 0: The edge is added at the end of the list • 0<i<N: The edge is inserted between vertices i-1 and i |
|
|
InvertPolygon |
true if the adjacent polygon should be inverted before accomodating a CW-CCW connection |
Return Value
Returns the ID of the polygon affected as a Long (-1 is returned if polygon has less than 3 points)
