Returns the Channel ID of the map channel.

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).
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. |

This function is available in release 2.0 and later only.
This function may be used to simply combine two meshes into one.
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. |

Point3 | N, | ||
float | off, | ||
bool | split = FALSE , |
||
bool | remove = FALSE , |
||
AdjEdgeList * | ae = nullptr |
||
) |
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.
mesh | The mesh to slice |
N | The slicing plane |
off | The offset on the slicing plane |
split | Indicates that mesh should be split into two along the plane, otherwise faces are created with shared vertices. Ignored is remove is TRUE |
remove | Indicates that the faces below the plane should be removed |
ae | Contains a pointer to the AdjEdgeList for the mesh if precomputed. Providing this will aid in calculation speeds if pre-computed. The contents are not updated after the slice operation. |
