class IEditNormalsMod : public FPMixinInterface
- Description:
- This class is an interface used by the scripter and the SDK to access the Edit Normals modifier. See the documentation for that modifier for background on the normals and the basic operations like Break and Unify.
All but the last two of these methods are available via the scripter with commands like:numNormals = $.modifiers[#Edit_Normals].EditNormalsMod.GetNumNormals ()$.modifiers[#Edit_Normals].EditNormalsMod.SetSelection #{1..numNormals}$.modifiers[#Edit_Normals].EditNormalsMod.Unify ()

In 3ds Max 6, the Edit normals modifier had an average function added to its tool set.
- Remarks
- Breaks the indicated normals into separate normals for each face.
In 3ds Max 6, the Edit normals modifier had an average function added to its tool set. This allows the user to average the normals across the surface of the object(s). The toAverage parameter was added to this method to provide access to this new functionality.
- Parameters:
- BitArray *normalSelection=NULL
An optional selection set to use. If NULL, the current selection is used.
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
bool toAverage=false
Default is false. When true, this parameter causes the normals to be averaged across the surface of the object(s).
This allows the user to average the normals across the surface of the objects(s). This method and the next four methods were added to an existing interface to provide access to this new functionality.
- Remarks
- Breaks the indicated normals into separate normals for each face.
- Parameters:
- BitArray *normalSelection=NULL
An optional selection set to use. If NULL, the current selection is used.
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
|
inlinevirtual |
- Remarks
- Unifies the indicated normals so there's at most one normal per vertex. (Basically, causes normals to be shared across faces at a vertex.)
In 3ds Max 6, the Edit normals modifier had an average function added to its tool set. This allows the user to average the normals across the surface of the objects(s). The toAverage parameter was added to this method to provide access to this new functionality.
- Parameters:
- BitArray *normalSelection=NULL
An optional selection set to use. If NULL, the current selection is used.
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
bool toAverage=false
Default is false. When true, this parameter causes the normals to be averaged across the surface of the object(s).
|
inlinevirtual |
- Remarks
- Makes the indicated normals completely non-explicit and unspecified. Generates a rebuild & computation to determine the topology and direction of the newly unspecified normals.
- Parameters:
- BitArray *normalSelection=NULL
An optional selection set to use. If NULL, the current selection is used.
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in.
If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
|
inlinevirtual |
- Remarks
- Specifies the normals indicated to be fixed to the faces they're currently used by.
- Parameters:
- BitArray *normalSelection=NULL
An optional selection set to use. If NULL, the current selection is used.
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
|
inlinevirtual |
- Remarks
- Make the indicated normals explicit, so they won't be based on underlying face normals.
- Parameters:
- BitArray *normalSelection=NULL
An optional selection set to use. If NULL, the current selection is used.
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
- Remarks
- Copies the indicated normal into the Edit Normals modifier's copy/paste buffer.
- Parameters:
- int normalID
The ID of the normal we want to copy.
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
|
inlinevirtual |
- Remarks
- Pastes the normal currently in the Edit Normals modifier's copy/paste buffer into the normals indicated, making them specified and explicit.
- Parameters:
- BitArray *normalSelection = NULL
An optional selection set to use. If NULL, the current selection is used.
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)

inlinevirtual |
- Remarks
- Added in 3ds Max 6 SDK.
- Parameters:
- bool useThresh=false
float threshhold=0.0f
- Remarks
- Returns a pointer to the current selection.
- Parameters:
- INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
- Remarks
- Sets the normal selection to the selection given.
- Parameters:
- BitArray&selection
The desired selection
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in.

(This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
- Returns
- True if the selection was changed; false if the new selection was the same as the old selection.
|
inlinevirtual |
- Remarks
- Selects, deselects, or inverts the selection of the normals indicated.
- Parameters:
- BitArray&selection
The normals whose selection we are trying to change.
bool invert=false

explicit, it will be restored to its default value the next time non-explicit normals are recomputed.
- Parameters:
- int normalID
The index of the normal
Point3 & direction
The desired normal direction. If not already normalized to a length of 1,
this method will normalize it.
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
TimeValue t=0
This is currently unused - but might be important if we add animation capabilities to Edit Normals in the future.
- Remarks
- Controls whether a given normal is built from smoothing groups or set to an explicit value (Also makes the normal specified for all faces using this normal.)
- Parameters:
- int normalID
The index of the normal
INode *pNode = NULL
If the Edit Normals modifier is instanced across several nodes, this parameter can be used to indicate which node you mean to modify normals in. If you want to modify normals in all nodes, you must make a separate call for each node. If NULL, it assumes you want to modify normals in the "first" node. (This is fine if the modifier is only applied to one node, as is usually the case.)
- Remarks
- Makes the indicated normal explicit (or not). If setting the normal to explicit, it will also be set to "specified" on all faces using it. If
setting it to non-explicit, the modifier recomputes all non-explicit normals to bring it up to date.
- Parameters:
- int normalID
The index of the normal
bool value
True to make this normal explicit, false to make it non-explicit.

- Remarks
- Returns a pointer to the MNNormalSpec used by the EditNormalsModData. This MNNormalSpec is not part of any particular MNMesh, rather it's used as the local data of the EditNormalsMod to indicate what normals should be applied to the mesh coming up the pipe. Its "parent" pointer is generally set to NULL, and should be set to a mesh like the one you get from EnfnGetMesh before you do certain operations. (See class MNNormalSpec for details on which methods require an accurate "parent" pointer.
