Synopsis

polyDelFacet [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int]

polyDelFacet is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Deletes faces. If the result is split into disconnected pieces, the pieces (so-called shells) are still considered to be one object.
Notice : The last face cannot be deleted.

Return value

stringThe node name.

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

caching, constructionHistory, name, nodeState
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
Common flags
-caching(-cch) boolean createedit
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed.
-constructionHistory(-ch) boolean createquery
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If construction history is on then the corresponding node will be inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object.
Note: If the object already has construction history then this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the history chain.
-name(-n) string create
Give a name to the resulting node.
-nodeState(-nds) int createqueryedit
Defines how to evaluate the node.
