Introduced
1.5
Description
Generates a subdivided mesh from an input mesh and positions its center at the same center as the one of its input mesh.
The subdivided mesh is a smoothed version of the input mesh.
The input parameters are the same as the ones for ApplyOp.
Doing ApplyOp "MeshSubdivide" will generate a subdivided mesh with its center at the origin. This is currently the default for all generator operators.
Scripting Syntax
MeshSubdivideWithCenter( PresetObj, [ConnectionSet], [ConnectType], [ImmediateMode], [GenOpInputsDisposal] )

Type |
Description |
|
PresetObj |
String or preset object (see SIGetPreset) |
One of the mesh subdivide Generator and Converter Operators Default Value: "MeshSubdivideWithCenter" Possible Values: • MeshSubdivideWithCenter: MeshSubdivideWithCenter operator preset • MeshSubdivide: MeshSubdivide operator preset |
|
ConnectionSet [in/out] |
Objects to apply subdivide to. See Operator Presets for details on the connection set required for this operator. Note: Because this is an in/out parameter, any string (variable or value) you pass into this parameter is automatically converted to a ConnectionSet object. Default Value: No default. Warning: An error occurs if the connection set is invalid. Please verify the connection set required for this operator to avoid breaking your scripts. |
|
|
ConnectType |
Specifies whether this applies to the object as a node or as a branch. Default Value: siUnspecified |
|
|
ImmediateMode [in/out] |
Specifies whether or not the operator should be immediately frozen. Default Value: siPersistentOperation |
|
|
GenOpInputsDisposal [in/out] |
Specifies what to do with the input objects after the operation is performed. Default Value: siKeepGenOpInputs Possible Values: • siKeepGenOpInputs: The inputs will be kept • siHideGenOpInputs: The inputs will be hidden • siDeleteGenOpInputs: The inputs will be deleted |
