Synopsis

string[] stitchAndExplodeShell()

Given a group of NURBS surfaces which are connected, the script stitches the surfaces together as a shell and subsequently creates trimmed NURBS surface shapes corresponding to the faces comprising the shell using a surfaceVarGroup.

The stitchAndExplode is performed by hooking up the selected NURBS surfaces to a stitchAsNurbsShell node, which in turn is connected to a explodeNurbsShell node.

This is useful in removing cracks which show up while rendering NURBS surfaces as the tesselation carried out to render the triangles do not have the same vertices across the shared edges.

Return value

None

Arguments
