Synopsis

polyInfo [-edgeToFace] [-edgeToVertex] [-faceNormals] [-faceToEdge] [-faceToVertex] [-laminaFaces] [-nonManifoldEdges] [-nonManifoldVertices] [-vertexToEdge] [-vertexToFace]

polyInfo is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

Command query's topological information on polygonal objects and components. So, the command will require the following to be specified: - selection list to query

Return value

string Components

Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-nonManifoldVertices(-nmv) create
Find all non-manifold vertices in the specified objects.
-nonManifoldEdges(-nme) create
Find all non-manifold edges in the specified objects.
-laminaFaces(-lf) create
Find all lamina faces in the specified objects.
-edgeToFace(-ef) create
Returns the faces that share the specified edge. Requires edges to be selected.
-vertexToFace(-vf) create
Returns the faces that share the specified vertex. Requires vertices to be selected.
-faceToEdge(-fe) create
Returns the edges defining a face. Requires faces to be selected.
-faceToVertex(-fv) create
Returns the vertices defining a face. Requires faces to be selected.
-edgeToVertex(-ev) create
Returns the vertices defining an edge. Requires edges to be selected.
-vertexToEdge(-ve) create
Returns the Edges connected to a vertex. Requires vertices to be selected.
-faceNormals(-fn) create
Returns face normals of the specified object. If faces are selected the command returns the face normals of selected faces. Else it returns the face normals of all the faces of the object.
