Class Description
Defines a basic bezier shape object.
The BezierShape is effectively a collection of Bezier Splines. For example the 3ds Max Donut object has two splines in a hierarchy to make a shape. The BezierShape contains these splines.

| CoreExport BitArray VertexTempSel | ( | int | poly, |
| int | level = -1 |
||
| ) |
- Remarks
- Constructs a vertex selection list based on the current selection level for the specified spline. For example if the selection level is at object level all the bits are set. If the selection level is at vertex level only the selected vertex bits are set. See Class BitArray.
- Parameters:
- int poly
The index into the splines data member.
int level = -1
This allows a selction level to be optionally specified. For example if the selection level is at object level all the bits are set. If the selection level is at vertex level only the selected vertex bits are set. One of the following values:
SHAPE_OBJECT
SHAPE_SPLINE
SHAPE_SEGMENT
SHAPE_VERTEX
| CoreExport BitArray VertexTempSelAll | ( | int | poly = -1, |
| BOOL | includeVecs = FALSE, |
||
| int | level = 0, |
||
| BOOL | forceSel = FALSE |
||
| ) |
- Remarks
- This method looks at the selection state for the selection level and sets the appropriate bits based on the selection set unless forceSel is TRUE. If forceSel is TRUE, it acts as if every item in the selection set for the specified spline was set. It's an easy way to select entire splines.
See Class BitArray.
- Parameters:
- int poly = -1
The index into the splines data member (-1 means use all).
BOOL includeVecs = FALSE
If set, this method will set the bits for vectors associated with selected knots.
int level = 0
This allows a selction level to be optionally specified. For example if the selection level is at object level all the bits are set. If the selection level is at vertex level only the selected vertex bits are set. One of the following values:
SHAPE_OBJECT
SHAPE_SPLINE
SHAPE_SEGMENT
SHAPE_VERTEX
BOOL forceSel = FALSE
If TRUE, it acts as if every item in the selection set for the specified spline was set. It's an easy way to select entire splines. For example, selecting spline 2 regardless of the spline-level selection state:
VertexTempSelAll(2, FALSE, SHAPE_SPLINE, TRUE);
This just builds the selection set as if spline 2 was completely selected. Otherwise, the spline bits would have only been selected if BezierShape::polySel.sel[2] was set.
Incidentally, the following calls will do exactly the same thing:
VertexTempSelAll(2, FALSE, SHAPE_VERTEX, TRUE);
VertexTempSelAll(2, FALSE, SHAPE_SEGMENT, TRUE);
For what it's worth, the SHAPE_SPLINE version is the most efficient.
| CoreExport BitArray VertexFlagSel | ( | int | poly, |
| DWORD | flag | ||
| ) |
Constructs a vertex selection list of the specified poly.
- Remarks
- Constructs a vertex selection list of the specified poly based on the setting of the specified flag on the vertex. The implementation calls GetFlag() on each SplineKnotAssy checking the specified flag value.

| CoreExport Spline3D* AddSpline | ( | Spline3D * | spline | ) |
- Remarks
- Add an existing spline to this shape as the last one in the list. Note that this copies only the pointer, it does not copy the entire spline, so do not delete the spline anywhere else. This will do it when it's done with it.
- Parameters:
- Spline3D* spline
The spline to add.
- Returns
- A pointer to the spline passed or NULL if the call failed.
| CoreExport int DeleteSpline | ( | int | index | ) |
- Remarks

- Parameters:
- int index
The index into the splines data member.
- Returns
- Nonzero on success; otherwise zero.
| CoreExport int InsertSpline | ( | Spline3D * | spline, |
| int | index | ||
| ) |

| BOOL | useSel | ||
| ) |
- Remarks
- Computes the bounding box of this shape.
| CoreExport void UpdateSels | ( | BOOL | save = FALSE | ) |
- Remarks
- This is a very important call to make. When you are done adding polygons to the shape you should call this method. This method updates a set of embedded selection set data within the shape. This selection set data tells what polygons are selected, what segments are selected, and what control points are selected. This resets the sizes of the selection bit arrays for this shape.
- Parameters:
- BOOL save = FALSE
This parameter is available in release 4.0 and later only.
This optional parameter preserves the selection set information when set to TRUE, and erases it when set to FALSE. The default, FALSE, is present for backward compatibility, where there was no argument.
| CoreExport void GetClosures | ( | BitArray & | array | ) |
| CoreExport void SetClosures | ( | BitArray & | array | ) |
| CoreExport float FindSegmentPoint | ( | int | poly, |
| int | segment, | ||
| GraphicsWindow * | gw, | ||
| Material * | ma, | ||
| HitRegion * | hr, | ||
| int | ptype = PARAM_SIMPLE |
||
| ) |
- Remarks
- This is used for hit testing. This method returns a value from 0.0 to 1.0 that tells you where a hit was found on a particular segment. Sample code that uses this is the edit spline modifier in /MAXSDK/SAMPLES/MODIFIERS/EDITSPL.H. This allows a refinement of the hit testing.
- Parameters:
- int poly
The index of the spline.
int segment
The index of the segment.
GraphicsWindow *gw
The graphics window where the hit test was done.
Material *ma
The list of materials.
HitRegion *hr
The hit region. See Class HitRegion.
int ptype = PARAM_SIMPLE
This parameter is available in release 4.0 and later only.
This allows the caller to get the location on the segment in either parameter space or normalized distance space. Both return values of 0-1. For proper backward compatibility, the default parameter type is PARAM_SIMPLE. The other option is PARAM_NORMALIZED.
| CoreExport void Reverse | ( | int | poly, |
| BOOL | keepZero = FALSE |
||
| ) |
- Remarks
- Reverses the spline whose index is passed.
- Parameters:
- int poly
The spline to reverse.
BOOL keepZero = FALSE
This optional parameter is available in release 2.0 and later only.
This parameter defaults to FALSE in order to retain backwards compatibility. Setting it to TRUE insures that a closed spline will have the same vertex as its first point when it is reversed. The parameter is ignored on open splines.
| CoreExport void Reverse | ( | BitArray & | reverse, |
| BOOL | keepZero = FALSE |
||
| ) |
- Remarks
- Reverses the splines of this shape if the corresponding bit in reverse is set.
- Parameters:
- BitArray &reverse
If the bit is set the spline is reversed; otherwise it is left alone.
BOOL keepZero = FALSE
This optional parameter is available in release 2.0 and later only.
This parameter defaults to FALSE in order to retain backwards compatibility. Setting it to TRUE insures that a closed spline will have the same vertex as its first point when it is reversed. The parameter is ignored on open splines.
| CoreExport ShapeHierarchy& OrganizeCurves | ( | TimeValue | t, |
| ShapeHierarchy * | hier = NULL |
||
| ) |

- Parameters:
- TimeValue t
This parameter is not used.
ShapeHierarchy *hier = NULL
If non-NULL the result is store here (in addition to being returned). See Class ShapeHierarchy.
- Returns
- The result is returned here.
| CoreExport void MakePolyShape | ( | PolyShape & | pshp, |
| int | nSteps = -1, |
||
| BOOL | doOptimize = FALSE |
||
| ) |
- Remarks

| CoreExport void MakeFirst | ( | int | poly, |
| int | vertex | ||
| ) |
- Remarks
- Sets the specified vertex of the specified poly as the first vertex. On an open polygon this has to be one of the end control points. On a closed shape it doesn't matter.
- Parameters:
- int poly
The poly to update.
int vertex
The vertex to make first.
| CoreExport void Transform | ( | Matrix3 & | tm | ) |
- Remarks

| CoreExport void AddAndWeld | ( | BezierShape & | from, |
| float | weldThreshold | ||
| ) |
- Remarks
- This method is used for adding the splines from one BezierShape to another, with a weld threshold that will weld endpoints of the new splines onto endpoints of existing splines. Calling this method will cause the splines of the "from" shape to be added to those of the shape. If any endpoints in the "from" shape are within the specified weld threshold, they will be automatically welded.
- Parameters:
- BezierShape &from
The shape whose splines are added.
float weldThreshold
The endpoint weld threshold.
| CoreExport void ReadyCachedPolyShape | ( | ) |
- Remarks
- This method is used internally.
| CoreExport int MakeCap | ( | TimeValue | t, |
| MeshCapInfo & | capInfo, | ||
| int | capType | ||
| ) |
- Remarks
- This method is passed a capping information structure and it will compute the information it needs to make a mesh cap for this shape.
- Parameters:
- TimeValue t
This parameter is not used.
MeshCapInfo &capInfo
The capping information. See Class MeshCapInfo.
int capType
See Shape Capping Types.
- Returns
- Nonzero if the method succeeded; otherwise zero.
| CoreExport int MakeCap | ( | TimeValue | t, |
| PatchCapInfo & | capInfo | ||
| ) |
- Remarks
- This method is passed a capping information structure and it will compute the information it needs to make a patch cap for this shape.
- Parameters:
- TimeValue t
This parameter is not used.
PatchCapInfo &capInfo
The capping information. See Class PatchCapInfo.
- Returns
- Nonzero if the method succeeded; otherwise zero.
| CoreExport int ReadyPatchCap | ( | ) |
- Remarks
- This method is used internally by the BezierShape code. When you call BezierShape::MakeCap(TimeValue t, PatchCapInfo &capInfo), if the patch cap data isn't cached, this method is called to build it. Calling it is not normally necessary, or a good idea – it builds the PatchCapInfo data structure regardless of whether it's cached or not. Just call the MakeCap() method to get the cap information and the caching is done automatically.
| CoreExport void CopyShapeDataFrom | ( | BezierShape & | fromShape | ) |
- Remarks

| CoreExport void BindKnot | ( | BOOL | isEnd, |
| int | segIndex, | ||
| int | splineSegID, | ||
| int | splinePointID | ||
| ) |
- Remarks
- This method is available in release 3.0 and later only.
This method binds a knot to a segment. A bind acts as a constraint, it constrains the first point or the end point of a spline to the mid point of a segment.
- Parameters:
- BOOL isEnd
Specifies whether the first or last point is bound. TRUE for the end; FALSE for the start.
int segIndex
The index of the segment to be bound to.
int splineSegID
The index of the spline that contains the segment.
int splinePointID
The index of spline that is being bound.
| CoreExport BOOL UnbindKnot | ( | int | splineID, |
| BOOL | isEnd | ||
| ) |

- This method unbinds the specified spline.
- Parameters:
- int splineID
The index of spline that is being bound.
BOOL isEnd
Specifies whether the first or last point is unbound. TRUE for the end; FALSE for the start.
| CoreExport void UpdateBindList | ( | BOOL | useGeometricTracking = FALSE | ) |
- Remarks
- This method is available in release 3.0 and later only.
This method needs to be called when the topology changes to update the bind list.
- Parameters:
- BOOL useGeomTracking=FALSE
This parameter is available in release 4.0 and later only.
This allows the update to be dependant on previous recorded topology or geometry. If this flag is set to TRUE it uses the old method of using the geometry to rebuild the binds, else it uses the new method which uses the aux flags of the splines which store the old topology indices. Normally this will be FALSE since most of the times the topology tracking is more accurate, it should be set to TRUE when there is no initial topology to work from for instance when attaching or detaching geometry.

Delete multiple splines at once.
Deleting multiple splines at once is faster than deleting one by one by calling DeleteSpline(), because the internal bookkeeping only needs to be done once.
- Parameters
-
[in] indices Point to an array of indices to delete. Indices should be unique, and sorted in ascending order. [in] n Number of entries in the indices array.
- Returns
- false if any of the vertex indices are invalid.
