Return Value

Returns the ID of the polygon affected as a Long (-1 is returned if polygon has less than 3 points)

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
InputObj String Mesh holding the polygon being built
PointID Integer ID of the target point to connect with

Examples

VBScript Example

' Add a quad to a grid and connect one of its points to an existing point
dim obj, poly
set obj = CreatePrim( "Grid", "MeshSurface" )
SelectObj obj
ApplyOp "CreatePolygon", obj, siUnspecified
AddPointToNewPolygon obj, -6.088, 0.0, 0.864
AddPointToNewPolygon obj, -6.345, 0.0, 2.953
poly = ConnectNewPolygonToPoint( obj, 16, 0 )
