◆ GetDesc()

FPInterfaceDesc* GetDesc ( )
virtual
Remarks
This method returns a description of the published function interface (for scripter access to EPoly functions).

Implements FPInterface.

◆ GetMeshPtr()

virtual MNMesh* GetMeshPtr ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method returns a pointer to the Editable Poly's MNMesh. See Class MNMesh for fun things to do with an MNMesh.
Default Implementation:
{ return NULL; }
513 { return NULL; }
#define NULL
Definition: autoptr.h:18

◆ getParamBlock()

virtual IParamBlock2* getParamBlock ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
Gets a pointer to the Editable Poly's parameter block, which can be used to get or set Editable Poly UI parameters. (See class IParamBlock2 for more information on access methods.) Here is a list of the available parameters, as defined in the epolyParameters enum near the top of iEPoly.h. (Please see the Editable Poly documentation in the normal 3ds Max User Reference file for more information on these parameters.)

◆ EpfnSelectVertByColor()

If TRUE, then instead of the options under "add" above, the vertices within the specified color range are deselected (while other selections are unmodified).

Parameters:
int face

The face whose triangulation we want to modify

int corner1, corner2

The endpoints of the new diagonal. They should be indices into the vertex list. So for instance corner values of (0,3) would refer to vertices f[face].vtx[0] and f[face].vtx[3]. Note that if (corner1+1)deg == corner2 (or vice versa), or if corner1==corner2, nothing will happen.

Default Implementation:
{ return false; }
2132 { return false; }

◆ EpfnFlipNormals()

Parameters:

Indicates which elements should be flipped. An element is considered flagged if any of its faces have that flag set.
Returns
Indicates which elements should be flipped. An element is considered flagged if any of its faces have that flag set.

{ return false; }
2144 { return false; }

◆ EpfnSelectByMat()

◆ CollapseDeadStructs()

virtual void CollapseDeadStructs ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method deletes all the components in all the levels that have the MN_DEAD flag set. Note that this causes a renumbering of affected component levels. If you're deleting faces in the middle of a complex operation, it's usually best to just set their MN_DEAD flags, then call CollapseDeadStructs at the end, so that you don't have to worry about other faces' indices changing before you're done.
Default Implementation:
{ }
2187 { }

◆ EpfnPropagateComponentFlags()

virtual int EpfnPropagateComponentFlags ( int  slTo,
DWORD  flTo,
int  slFrom,
DWORD  flFrom,
bool  ampersand = FALSE,
bool  set = TRUE,
bool  undoable = FALSE 
)
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method is used for setting flags in the MNMesh components based on flags of other components that they touch. This is very versatile. For instance, to hide all faces that use selected vertices, you would call EpfnPropegateComponentFlags (MNM_SL_FACE, MN_HIDE, MNM_SL_VERTEX, MN_SEL, false, true, true). (Hiding faces should be undoable.) To set the MN_WHATEVER flag on all vertices that are used only by selected edges, you'd call EpfnPropegateComponentFlags (MNM_SL_VERTEX, MN_WHATEVER, MNM_SL_EDGE, MN_SEL, true);
Parameters:
int slTo

The selection level we wish to modify. (One of MNM_SL_OBJECT, MNM_SL_VERTEX, MNM_SL_EDGE, or MNM_SL_FACE.)

DWORD flTo

The flags we wish to change in that selection level.

int slFromt

The selection level we wish to base the changes on.

DWORD flFrom

The flags that indicate a change should happen.

bool ampersand=FALSE

When slFrom and slTo are different, this indicates whether the flags of the nearby components should be "or'd" or "and'd". If it's false, then any flagged components in the "from" level will cause the component in the "to" level to be affected. If true, then all the components in the "from" level that touch a component in the "to" level must be flagged in order for the "to" level component to be affected. (i.e., if from is faces and to is vertices, a vertex would only be modified if all faces that use it have the flFrom flag set.)

bool set=TRUE

If TRUE, this parameter indicates that the flTo flags should be set on targeted components. If false, it indicates that the flags should be cleared. For instance, to clear MN_HIDE flags on vertices that are used by selected edges, you'd call EpfnPropegateComponentFlags (MNM_SL_VERTEX, MN_HIDE, MNM_SL_EDGE, MN_SEL, false, false, true);

bool undoable=FALSE

Indicates if this action should create an entry for the undo system. Changes to MN_SEL, MN_HIDE, and MN_DEAD flags should generally be undoable, but changes to more minor flags like MN_WHATEVER that are used to set up for other operations generally don't have to be.
Returns
The number of components in the slTo level that were affected by the call. (If 0, nothing happened.)
Default Implementation:
{ return 0; }
2231 { return 0; }
