MeshCapper Class Reference

#include <captypes.h>

Class Description

This class is used to apply the MeshCapInfo data to a mesh.

It will modify the mesh as required to add the cap. Simply fill in the vertices and faces bordering the cap, then call the CapMesh method. All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Constructor.

This gets the capper ready for the topology of the specified PolyShape.

Parameters
shape- The PolyShape to initialize the cap data from.

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

CoreExport MeshCapPoly& operator[] ( int  index)

Array access operator.

Returns the MeshCapPoly as specified by the index.

CoreExport int CapMesh ( Mesh mesh,
MeshCapInfo capInfo,
BOOL  flip,
DWORD  smooth,
Matrix3 tm = NULL,
int  mtlID = -1 
)

This method is used to modify the mesh based on the MeshCapInfo, the flipped state, the smoothing group and an orientation matrix.

Parameters
mesh- The Mesh to modify.
capInfo- The MeshCapInfo describing the properties of the cap.
flip- A switch to indicate if the cap should be oriented normally or flipped. The MeshCapInfo is used for both the front and back side of a cap. Either the front or the back will have to be flipped. This switch is used to indicate if a particular one is flipped.
smooth- The smoothing group for all the faces in the cap.
tm- The orientation matrix. A grid cap generates new vertices inside the shape that make up the grid. In the case of a SurfRev for example, the end cap might be rotated, or scaled in some manner. A matrix is required so the capper knows how to orient the vertices into the correct location. This matrix is ignored for non-grid capping.
mtlID- This parameter is available in release 2.0 and later only. Specifies the material ID of the faces that make up the cap. The default for this value is -1, which causes the capper to use material ID 0 for non-flipped caps and ID 1 for flipped caps. Note that these ID values are zero-based, while the UI display is 1-based.
Returns
Nonzero if the mesh was modified; otherwise zero.
CoreExport int CapMNMesh ( MNMesh mesh,
MeshCapInfo capInfo,
bool  flip,
DWORD  smooth,
Matrix3 tm = nullptr,
int  mtlID = -1 
)

This method is used to modify the MNMesh based on the MeshCapInfo, the flipped state, the smoothing group and an orientation matrix.

Parameters
mesh- The Mesh to modify.
capInfo- The MeshCapInfo describing the properties of the cap.
flip- A switch to indicate if the cap should be oriented normally or flipped. The MeshCapInfo is used for both the front and back side of a cap. Either the front or the back will have to be flipped. This switch is used to indicate if a particular one is flipped.
smooth- The smoothing group for all the faces in the cap.
tm- The orientation matrix. A grid cap generates new vertices inside the shape that make up the grid. In the case of a SurfRev for example, the end cap might be rotated, or scaled in some manner. A matrix is required so the capper knows how to orient the vertices into the correct location. This matrix is ignored for non-grid capping.
mtlID- This parameter is available in release 2.0 and later only. Specifies the material ID of the faces that make up the cap. The default for this value is -1, which causes the capper to use material ID 0 for non-flipped caps and ID 1 for flipped caps. Note that these ID values are zero-based, while the UI display is 1-based.
Returns
Nonzero if the mesh was modified; otherwise zero.
