polyAppendFacetCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Create a new context to append facets on polygonal objects
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
-subdivision(-s) |
int |
   |
|
Number of sub-edges created for each new edge. Default is
1. |
|
-rotate(-r) |
float |
|
|
Rotate current facet around the first edge selected. |
|
-isRotateAvailable(-isr) |
boolean |
|
|
Tells if the control associated to rotate flag is available. If
several edges are already selected and they are not aligned (thus
there is no "rotation axis") the rotation is no longer
available. |
|
-planarConstraint(-pc) |
boolean |
|
|
Allows/avoid new facet to be non-planar.
If on, all new points will be projected onto current facet
plane. Selected edges will be checked as well. |
|
-append(-ap) |
boolean |
|
|
Allows to switch to polyCreateFacetCtx tool |
|
-maximumNumberOfPoints(-mp) |
int |
|
|
Allows the ability to set a upper bound on the number of points
in interactively place before polygon is created. A value less than
2 will mean that there is no upper bound. |
