IsBoundary (Edge) *

Introduced

4.2

Description

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the Edge is a boundary or not.

C# Syntax

// get accessor
Boolean rtn = Edge.IsBoundary;

Examples

1. VBScript Example

' 
'  This example demonstrates how to use the Edge.IsBoundary property. It also 
'  demonstrates how to work with the Selection object to get a collection of
'  the actual components that are selected.
'

NewScene , false 
CreatePrim "Grid", "MeshSurface" 
ActivateEdgeSelTool 
SelectGeometryComponents "grid.edge[4,5]" 

' Because edge components were selected, the Selection object actually contains 
' only one object which is a CollectionItem. In order to get at the edges
' themselves, we need to call the CollectionItem.ComponentCollection
set oSelectedEdges = Selection(0).SubComponent.ComponentCollection
logmessage "is edge 4 a boundary ? " & oSelectedEdges(0).IsBoundary 
logmessage "is edge 5 a boundary ? " & oSelectedEdges(1).IsBoundary

' Output of above script:
'INFO : is edge 4 a boundary ? True
'INFO : is edge 5 a boundary ? False

2. JScript Example

//INFO : is edge 5 a boundary ? false
