enum MNMeshTriangulationType

Enumerator
TRIANGULATION_LEGACY	Legacy triangulation algorithm, implemented in the function MaxSDK::FindDiagonals, and offered by the MNMesh::RetriangulateFace function prior to Max 2024. O(deg * deg) time complexity.
TRIANGULATION_ENHANCED_2023_1	Improved triangulation algorithm, implemented in the function MaxSDK::BuildDiagonals, with version parameter MaxSDK::TRIANGULATION_VER_2023_1; generates superior results for multiply-connected faces, faces containing collinear vertices, and grossly non-planar faces. O(deg * deg) time complexity on average.
TRIANGULATION_ENHANCED_2024	Improved triangulation algorithm, implemented in the function MaxSDK::BuildDiagonals, with version parameter MaxSDK::TRIANGULATION_VER_204; improves upon the treatment of the TRIANGULATION_ENHANCED_2023_1 algorithm with better handling of non-planar faces, and geometric degeneracies such as spur edges and self-intersecting bounding curves. O(deg * deg) time complexity on average.
