X3DObject.AddNurbsSurfaceMesh2

Description

Creates a NurbsSurfaceMesh object. This method can be used for creating a mesh of multiple nurbs surfaces from a set of geometry data.

Scripting Syntax

oReturn = X3DObject.AddNurbsSurfaceMesh2( Count, ControlPoints, [NbUControlPoints], [NbVControlPoints], [UKnots], [NbUKnots], [VKnots], [NbVKnots], [UDegree], [VDegree], [UClosed], [VClosed], [UParam], [VParam], [NurbsFormat], [Name] );

Return Value

Returns the X3DObject object holding the new geometry; the new X3DObject is parented under this X3DObject.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
Count Long Number of surfaces.
ControlPoints 3D Array The control points are stored in a 3-dimensional array. The array is 4 * (Max Number of V ControlPoints for a NurbsSurface) * (Total Number of U ControlPoints)
NbUControlPoints Array of Longs Specifies the number of U ControlPoints per NurbsCurve. Optional if you have only one NurbsCurve.
NbVControlPoints Array of Longs Specifies the number of V ControlPoints per NurbsCurve. Optional if you have only one NurbsCurve.
UKnots Array A vector of knot values in the U direction.

Default Value: Knots derived from control points.

NbUKnots Array of Longs Specifies the number of U Knots per NurbsCurve. Optional if there's only one NurbsCurve.
VKnots Array A vector of knot values in the V direction.

Default Value: Knots derived from control points.

NbVKnots Array of Longs Specifies the number of V Knots per NurbsCurve. Optional if there's only one NurbsCurve.
UDegree Array of Longs Degree of the nurbs surface in U direction.

Default Value: 3

VDegree Array of Longs Degree of the nurbs surface in V direction.

Default Value: 3

UClosed Array of Boolean Specifies whether the nurbs surface is closed or not in U direction.

Default Value: False

VClosed Array of Boolean Specifies whether the nurbs surface is closed or not in V direction.

Default Value: False

UParam Array of siKnotParameterization The parameterization factor of the nurbs surface in U direction.

Default Value: siNonUniformParameterization

VParam Array of siKnotParameterization The parameterization factor of the nurbs surface in V direction.

Default Value: siNonUniformParameterization

NurbsFormat siNurbsFormat Specifies how the data is formatted.

Default Value: siSINurbs

Name String name of object
