ConnectNewPolygonToPoint

Introduced

1.5

Description

Adds a point to the polygon being created and shares it with an existing point.

Scripting Syntax

ConnectNewPolygonToPoint( InputObj, PointID, [InsertPosition], [InvertPolygon] )

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
InputObj	String	Mesh holding the polygon being built
PointID	Integer	ID of the target point to connect with Possible Values: • 0<=i<N: index of the point in the mesh
InsertPosition	Long	Ordinal of the vertex where to insert that point in the polygon Default Value: 0 Possible Values: • 0: The point is added at the end of the list • 0<i<N: The point is inserted between vertices i-1 and i of the polygon
InvertPolygon	Boolean	true if the adjacent polygon(s) should be inverted before accomodating a CW-CCW connection Default Value: false

Return Value

Returns the ID of the polygon affected as a Long (-1 is returned if polygon has less than 3 points)

Examples

VBScript Example

' Add a quad to a grid and connect one of its points to an existing point
dim obj, poly
set obj = CreatePrim( "Grid", "MeshSurface" )
SelectObj obj
ApplyOp "CreatePolygon", obj, siUnspecified
AddPointToNewPolygon obj, -6.088, 0.0, 0.864
AddPointToNewPolygon obj, -6.345, 0.0, 2.953
poly = ConnectNewPolygonToPoint( obj, 16, 0 )
SelectObj obj & ".poly[" & poly & "]"
