typedef int(* INTRFUNC) ()

Function Documentation

DllExport ChannelMask MapChannelID ( int mp )

Returns the Channel ID of the map channel.

if mp>=1, this always returns TEXMAP_CHANNEL. For mp<1, including the hidden map channels, this is currently always VERTCOLOR_CHANNEL. In the future it may include map channels that are actually part of GEOM_CHANNEL or something.

Parameters

mp	The map channel.

DllExport int MapChannelNum ( int mp )

Similar to MapChannelID, but this returns the CHAN_NUM version:TEXMAP_CHAN_NUM, VERTCOLOR_CHAN_NUM, etc.

Parameters

mp	The map channel.

DllExport int VertexDataType ( int vdID )

Return the data type of the specified vertex data channel.

Parameters

vdID	- One of the values from Vertex Data Index Options

Returns: The data type of the specified channel (see Data Types for Mesh Vertices, above).

DllExport void* VertexDataDefault ( int vdID )

Returns a pointer to a default value for the specified channel.

Parameters

vdID	One of the values from Vertex Data Index Options

DllExport void setMeshIntrFunc ( INTRFUNC fn )

DllExport void setUseVisEdge ( int b )

This is used internally.

DllExport int getUseVisEdge ( )

This is used internally.

DllExport void setUseVertexDots ( int b )

DllExport int getUseVertexDots ( )

DllExport void setVertexDotType ( int t )

DllExport VertexNormalsControl* GetVertexNormalsControl ( )

DllExport int CalcBoolOp	(	Mesh &	mesh,
		Mesh &	mesh1,
		Mesh &	mesh2,
		int	op,
		MeshOpProgress *	prog = `NULL`,
		Matrix3 *	tm1 = `NULL`,
		Matrix3 *	tm2 = `NULL`,
		int	whichInv = `0`,
		int	weld = `TRUE`
	)

Matrix3 *tm2 = NULL, int whichInv = 0, int weld = TRUE); Note: This method is still in the SDK, but it is now obsolete.

Calls to CalcBoolOp() should be replaced with calls to the new MNMesh form of Boolean. Please see the method MNMesh::MakeBoolean in Class MNMesh for details. This function stores the result of a boolean operation between mesh1 and mesh2 into mesh. This operation may be a union, intersection or difference. If tm1 or tm2 are non-NULL, the points of the corresponding mesh will be transformed by these matrices before the boolean operation. The mesh will be transformed back by either Inverse(tm1) or Inverse(tm2) depending on whichInv (a value of 0 will use tm1, a value of 1 will use tm2, unless whichInv is -1 in which case it will not be transformed back).

Parameters

mesh	The result of the boolean operation is stored here. mesh = mesh1 op mesh2.
mesh1	The first operand.
mesh2	The second operand.
op	The boolean operation. One of the values from Boolean Operations for Meshes
prog	= NULL A callback to display a progress. See Class MeshOpProgress.
tm1	= NULL If non-NULL then the points of mesh1 will transformed by this matrix before the boolean operation.
tm2	= NULL If non-NULL then the points of mesh2 will transformed by this matrix before the boolean operation.
whichInv	= 0 If 0, the resulting mesh will be transformed by Inverse(tm1). If 1, the resulting mesh will be transformed by Inverse(tm2). If -1, the mesh will not be transformed back.
weld	= TRUE If TRUE, the vertices of the resulting mesh are welded.

Returns: Nonzero if the operation completed successfully; otherwise zero.

DllExport void CombineMeshes	(	Mesh &	mesh,
		Mesh &	mesh1,
		Mesh &	mesh2,
		Matrix3 *	tm1 = `NULL`,
		Matrix3 *	tm2 = `NULL`,
		int	whichInv = `0`
	)

This function is available in release 2.0 and later only.

This function may be used to simply combine two meshes into one.

Parameters

mesh	The result of the combine operation is stored here. mesh = mesh1+mesh2.
mesh1	The first operand.
mesh2	The second operand.
tm1	If non-NULL then the points of mesh1 will transformed by this matrix before the boolean operation.
tm2	If non-NULL then the points of mesh2 will transformed by this matrix before the boolean operation.
whichInv	If 0, the resulting mesh will be transformed by Inverse(tm1). If 1, the resulting mesh will be transformed by Inverse(tm2). If -1, the mesh will not be transformed back.

DllExport void SliceMesh	(	Mesh &	mesh,
		Point3	N,
		float	off,
		bool	split = `FALSE`,
		bool	remove = `FALSE`
	)

Slices a single mesh.

The Point3 N and the float offset define a slicing plane (by DotProd (N,X) = offset). Default behavior is to split faces that cross the plane, producing 1-2 new faces on each side and a new vert in the middle of each edge crossing the plane. split means to add 2 different but coincident points to the top and bottom sets of faces, splitting the mesh into two meshes. remove means to delete all faces & verts below the plane.
