Class Description
IMNMeshUtilities8 extends the MNMeshUtilities class, adding new functionality applied on a MNMesh.
Such an interface is obtained through the call to GetInterface, using the class id: IMNMESHUTILITIES8_INTERFACE_ID on an instance of an MNMesh. usage is : IMNMeshUtilities8* l_meshToBridge = static_cast<IMNMeshUtilities8*>(mesh.GetInterface( IMNMESHUTILITIES8_INTERFACE_ID ));
Edge bridging: This is an extension of the existing bridge border method. It bridges 2 sets od edges of different size. you can bridge 4 edges with 5 edges. Limitations. the 2 edge lists must be disjoint, or at least separated by a sharp angle. this angular threshold can be adjusted by using the in_adjacentAngle parameter, Connect edges: 2 new parameters are added for better precision: in_pinch and in_slide. SelectEdgeRingShift: selects edges in the ring direction

Check if a face's cache is invalid.
The function first checks if the whole mesh or the face have been flagged as cache invalid (MN_CACHEINVALID). If none of these is true, it then cycles through the face's vertices and returns true as soon as it finds a vertex flagged with MN_CACHEINVALID.
- Precondition
- faceIndex must be a valid index in the faces (f) array.
- Parameters
-
[in] faceIndex The index of the face for which you want to determine cache validity
- Returns
- true if the face is invalid, else false.
Invalidates a single vertex's cache indicating it needs to be rebuilt.
The function flags the specified vertex with the MN_CACHEINVALID flag, telling the rebuild functions that this vertex, the faces surrounding it and the other vertices of those faces need to have their normals recomputed. It also sets normalsBuilt to 0 to trigger normals' rebuild. This function should be called when one to several vertices have been modified. If all or almost all vertices of the mesh have been invalidated, it's more efficient to call InvalidateGeomCache() instead.
- Precondition
- vertex must be a valid index in the vertex (v) array.
- Parameters
-
[in] vertex The index of the vertex that needs to be invalidated.
