v1.5
Adds an edge to the polygon being created and shares it with an existing edge
oLong = ConnectNewPolygonToEdge( InputObj, EdgeID, [InsertPosition], [InvertPolygon] ); |
Returns the ID of the polygon affected as a Long (-1 is returned if polygon has less than 3 points)
| Parameter | Type | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputObj | String | Mesh holding the polygon being built | ||||||
| EdgeID | Integer |
ID of the target edge to connect with
|
||||||
| InsertPosition | Long |
Ordinal of the vertex where to insert the new edge in the polygon Default Value: 0
|
