Synopsis

renderInfo([castShadows=boolean], [chordHeight=float], [chordHeightRatio=float], [doubleSided=boolean], [edgeSwap=boolean], [minScreen=float], [opposite=boolean], [smoothShading=boolean], [unum=int], [useChordHeight=boolean], [useChordHeightRatio=boolean], [useDefaultLights=boolean], [useMinScreen=boolean], [utype=int], [vnum=int], [vtype=int])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

renderInfo is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The renderInfo commands sets geometric properties of surfaces of the selected object.

Return value

None

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