polyCreateFacetCtx [-append boolean] [-maximumNumberOfPoints int]
[-planarConstraint
boolean] [-subdivision
int]
polyCreateFacetCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Create a new context to create 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. |
|
-planarConstraint(-pc) |
boolean |
|
|
allows/avoid new facet to be non-planar.
If on, all new points will be projected onto current facet
plane. |
|
-append(-ap) |
boolean |
|
|
Allows to switch to polyAppendFacetCtx 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. |

 Flag can be used more than once in a
command. |
