UnfoldClearCut

Introduced

v7.5

Description

Clears the cutting line associated with the specified Unfold Property.

Warning: This clears the entire cutting line for the property, even if you specify just a portion of it. For example, if a sphere's cutting line was originally set at 'sphere.edge[0,1,2,3,4]' and you call this command with the Objects parameter set to 'sphere.edge[3,4]', the sphere will have no cutting line at all set for the specified Unfold property.

Scripting Syntax

oBoolean = UnfoldClearCut( UnfoldProperty, [Object(s)] );

Return Value

Returns a Boolean reporting whether or not the command was successful.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
UnfoldProperty Property The Unfold property from which you want to clear the cut(s).
Object(s) List of objects or X3DObject Object(s) containing the cutting line that you want to be removed from the Unfold property.

Default Value: If not specified, the current selection is used.

Examples

JScript Example

/*

	This example demonstrates how to set up, modify, and remove 

	a cutting line for a grid on its Unfold property.

*/

NewScene(null, false);

var g = CreatePrim("Grid", "MeshSurface");

// Apply the Unfold property to the grid and get a pointer to it

UnfoldApply(g);

var u = g.Properties("Unfold");

// Set the cutting line using 7 edges and log it

UnfoldSetCut(u, "grid.edge[14,34,51,68,71,73,75]");

LogCuts(u);

// Add edges 2 and 3 to the current cutting line and log it again

UnfoldAddToCut("grid.Unfold", "grid.edge[2,3]");

LogCuts(u);

// Reset the cutting line 

UnfoldClearCut("grid.Unfold", "grid");

LogCuts(u);

// Launch Unfolding computations (since there's no cutting line 

// there's nothing to do, as you can see from the Texture Editor)

UnfoldUpdate("grid.Unfold");
