Detailed Description

Interface class for handling interactive face extrude operations, such as the shift-drag face extrude implemented in Editable Poly and Edit Poly.

Usage:

IMNFaceExtrude* faceExtrude = static_cast<IMNFaceExtrude*>(mesh.GetInterface(IMNFACEEXTRUDE_INTERFACE_ID));
// Perform initial topological changes to split selected faces, flagged with faceFlag, and set up data structures
faceExtrude->BeginFaceExtrude(faceFlag);
// Perform intermediate processing as the positions of the extruded face verticess are adjusted
bool isDone = false;
while (!isDone)
{
// Here, UpdateExtrudedFaceVertexPositions() is a function defined by the user of this class, which updates the
// positions of the vertices of the faces flagged with faceFlag, according to user input, and returns a flag which is
// true when the user is done modifying the vertex positions
isDone = UpdateExtrudedFaceVertexPositions();
// Redo the intermediate processing for the present vertex positions
faceExtrude->UpdateFaceExtrude();
}
// Finalize processing, and reset data structures to be ready for the next use
faceExtrude->EndFaceExtrude();

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetID()

virtual Interface_ID GetID ( )
inlineoverridevirtual
Remarks
This method returns the unique interface ID.

Reimplemented from BaseInterface.

7074 { return IMNFACEEXTRUDE_INTERFACE_ID; }

◆ SetVersion()

virtual void SetVersion ( IMNFaceExtrudeVersionType  version)
pure virtual

Sets the version of the face extrude postprocessing that the interface should employ.

Note that the interface is set at construction for the most recent version. Note that if an extrude operation is presently being processed, and version is different from the value returned by GetVersion() on entry, the the postprocessing operation is terminated, and this object is reset to an uninitialized state.

Parameters
[in]version– the IMNFaceExtrudeVersionType value indicating the version of the postprocessing to employ

◆ GetVersion()

virtual IMNFaceExtrudeVersionType GetVersion ( ) const
pure virtual

◆ BeginFaceExtrude()

virtual void BeginFaceExtrude ( DWORD  faceFlag = MN_SEL)
pure virtual

Performs the topology changes for the face extrude operation, following the approach of MNMesh::ExtrudeFaceClusters, for the faces flagged with faceFlag, and sets up the data structures required to perform further processing in UpdateFaceExtrude and EndFaceExtrude.

Parameters
[in]faceFlag– the MN_XXX selection flag used to faces to be extrude

◆ UpdateFaceExtrude()

virtual bool UpdateFaceExtrude ( )
pure virtual

Performs intermediate postprocessing after extruded faces have been moved or scaled.

Guaranteed not to alter geometry or topology of entities existing in the mesh prior to the first call to this function for a particular extrude operation, but may alter flags.

Returns
flag indicating whether topology was altered

◆ EndFaceExtrude()

virtual bool EndFaceExtrude ( )
pure virtual

Finalizes postprocessing of the extrude operation.

May alter vertex MN_WHATEVER flags.

Returns
flag indicating whether topology was altered
